Tomcat,
Under NFHS high school rules (which are written for a team game), a player who has ended his dribble may not start a second dribble unless he lost control because of:
1. a try for goal
2. a bat by an opponent
3. a pass or fumble which has then touched, or been touched by, another player.

Your play would fall under part 3. Since your opponent threw a pass that touched you, he may dribble again. In short, you were wrong to call a double-dribble violation.
