I determined that it was not player control and therefore, no violation. Judging from the reaction of the home coach and home crowd, I was in the minority.

First, I'm not sure what the question is... if your determination is that there was no player control - then my understanding of the rule is (remember, I'm a coach, not a ref) - you got it right. The opposing coach just didn't like the call - doesn't mean it was wrong...
