You made the correct call, and a few of us coaches will back you up on it. HOWEVER, this is about the dumbest rule going. I realize that a rule based on who gives impetus to the ball would be a lot harder to enforce and would probably produce just as many arguments, but it would make a lot more sense.
So, we apply that same philosophy to OOB situations:

A1 passes the ball to A2, but B2 deflects the ball.

The ball hits A2 and goes OOB.

Do you think "it would make a lot more sense" to give the ball to A?
Ok, so now you're going to try to make me think consistently.

No offense at my new signature line, I'm not calling anyone petty.
