There are only two possibilities aren't there? 1NT and Pass. Personally, at teams I prefer the bid which South made at the table - Pass, but there will be many who prefer 1NT. It depends on whether you and your partner prefer to use 1NT as a semi-constructive 8-10, or a "Shut-up now!" type bid. Discuss before it crops up for real. In the match, 1spade was passed out and made on the nose for North-South +80.
