The rule I thought the official set aside was 7-1-2d. The ball is out of bounds when it touches or is touched by:
d. The Ceiling, overhead equipment, or supports.
Because the situation says the official "allows play to continue" I thought it meant he/she saw the ball contact the wire and inadvertantly set aside 7-1-2d. Perhaps I am reading too much into the question but why would the official allow play to continue?

This is what I was thinking as well. Good job referencing the appropriate rules ehcco.
