The final decision was correct IMO. Once you called "Catch", you have just changed the entire play. I would have quickly try to sell the idea that he had complete control and it was a voluntary release and then hoped they bought it. It sounds like you got lucky to have some calm coaches. If I was DC, I would have gone for the DP since that would have been the correct call from the start.
I don't know how others may feel b/c some might say it was so obvious and easily could be seen. But, it sounds like your call affected the play. So, I would go with the catch and hope I don't have to stand there too long while the OC or DC yells at me.
But, there is no rush to make a catch call. The runners can take off as soon as he touches it. So, they should not be waiting on your call to take off. Just remember that and things will be OK.
