I think you were right, unless.......
Question, was A1 grasping the rim totally about the miss? In other words, did A1 just miss a dunk and he was left holding the rim? Or was A1 showboating or was A1 trying to avoid injury?
By what you describe, basket interference is out. The only way I think you could call that is if the player tried to guide the ball in the hole or attempt to benefit by holding onto the rim. It just sounds like A1 got lucky and the ball entered the rim.
I have a no-call by what was describe. I am sure someone will disagree, but that is what I got.
Peace
