Because of the game situation, I decided to pass on calling a violation. If the V coach would have questioned me on it, I would have told him that H1 lost control of the ball, re-gained control while still OOB and thus was allowed to finished his throw-in.

I guess I would like opinions if a throw-in violation should have been called (regardless of the situation)?

I think in this game and in this situation you made a great non-call. What you said "because of the game situation" sums it up for me. When you passed on this because it was going to have absolutely no effect on any part of this game, I think that was the smart thing to do. JMHO.
