As mentioned above, the stall out is not a violation, it is just a turn over. If the stall out is due to a fast count, it is still a stall out. But the thrower can in a way retroactively call the fast count, with the specific rule saying that this is treated as a contested stall, even though the actual stall out happened.

It is similar to a mid count fast count: if you fast count, you can not retract a number you said to void (or prevent) a fast count call (1…23retract3…4…).

On the other hand, if you as the marker are convinced that you called “stall out” in error after the fact, then your erroneous call should be treated as a violation as the stall out never happened. If the thrower agrees that there was no stall out (only he or his team mates can call you on your violation, you can not self call it), you do not apply the contested stall rule, and the disc stays where it is.
