Always NO BALL, NO CALL. The catcher may have received the ball, but if she made no attempt on the runner (tag attempt, touch the base on a force, etc.) it is still NO BALL ... thus no call.
If the catcher made a tag, you would call the runner out.
Now, same play, catcher attempts a tag but the runner evades it ... you are signaling “safe” ... until there is a reason not to, such as a subsequent actual tag or an appeal. At that point I am giving a very clear finger point at what happened to emphasize that something has changed, followed by a loud “OUT!”
@dno_2 ... that sucks, but no way to fix it.
