I think your ump made the right call, but for the wrong reason. The runner doesn't have to "attempt to duck" or anything else, as long as he is doing what he would normally do to get to 2B and does not purposely interfere with the throw.

In Fed you might have interference without intent, but even then there's a debate about how close the runner has to be to the base.

Similarly, in ASA a runner can slide to break up a double play. In Fed, he can't really do that.
