			The whole thing hinges on intent.  Since you have only hearsay from an obviously biased source, we don't know what the umpire really saw, so I'm not going to say this was a bad call.  All that matters here is whether the umpire in question felt that R1 stayed standing in order to prevent a double play.  If HE felt that was the case, then he made the right call.
