Agreed. The rim is pulled down and the ball enters the basket, basket interference. Good call!

This is a HTBT situation. If a player attempts to dunk and loses the ball above the rim in the process as they grab the rim then I'm inclined to have nothing. I've seen this play before.

If the player clearly releases the ball then subsequently grabs the rim while the ball is on or above the cylinder then I would have basket interference.

Without seeing the play its difficult to comment on whether you ruled correctly or not.
He's not asking what you're "inclined" to call. He's asking if he ruled correctly on the play based on his description. The answer is yes.
