I believe all rule sets (USAV and NFHS for certain) now treat a joust as a "play on" situation. The ball is considered last hit by the player on the opposite side of the net from the one the ball falls off on. The defending team has three hits left and the player involved in the joust may take the first hit.
If they were playing by NHFS rules, the ref was in error.
