There was an attempted tag, the catcher missed the tag, the runner corssed the plate but did not touch it. I gave a safe signal on the missed tag, the defensive coach yelled, he missed the home (which I had seen), the catcher ran over to the runner and tagged him, at that point I called the runner out. Myabe I misunderstood your comment when you say "touches/passes" are you assuming for the sake of this argument that he touched the plate or are you saying if there is an attempted tag, that tag is missed, and the runner passes home, but does not touch the base, should there be a no call?

It's not a force play. If the runner touched the plate before he was tagged, he would have been called safe. If he was tagged before touching the plate, he would have been called out. "No call" says it all: the runner has neither touched the plate nor been tagged.
