The decision we made on the spot was to wave off the basket, then go with the possession arrow for the subsequent spot inbound.

Any thoughts on this? I thought about it on the drive home and don't see how we could have done anything else......did we miss anything?

Yup, you missed the call. That's a legal play. You can only call basket interference if they grabbed the net while the ball was on or within the basket. In this case, it was in the cylinder above the basket.

See NFHS rule 4-6-1. You should have had a no-call because there was no violation.
