A good while after the game two coaches on the losing end of the call asked me what I thought about the call. I said I didn't see interference because the baserunner had no time to get away from the deflected ball. But I wish I had said what you have just said so clearly in you post.
I think if the PU had made that point to the head defensive coach he would have understood right away why there was no interference. I may get to explain it to them at another time, or perhaps to a coach in a game I am umpiring if a similar play happens. Thanks, ...Al
