Far as I'm concerned, all 3 of you dinked this up. Something that is not taught at all is the jump ball procedure. You tossed the ball and then you glanced up! That must have been one heck of a toss. When you toss the ball you should be looking up to make sure the jumpers don't touch the ball before it reaches it highest point. You also need to look up to make sure you tossed it straight. That way if someone grabs it, you are right there to see it.

Granted your partners are responsible to make this call, if they don't, then it's okay for you to call it, if you have defiant knowledge. Also, your toss may not have been high enough if one of the jumpers tipped it with two hands, which I don't think is legal anyway. You toss the ball high enough, they can't jump up and tip it with two hands.
