Any thoughts on this? I thought about it on the drive home and don't see how we could have done anything else......did we miss anything?

Yup, you missed the call. That's a legal play. You can only call basket interference if they grabbed the net while the ball was
on or within the basket. In this case, it was in the cylinder
above the basket.
See NFHS rule 4-6-1. You should have had a no-call because there was no violation.
