You were at 230 mph at 2000 feet, and you say that you "got" low and slow? Sorry to say that 230 mph and 2000 feet is already low and slow to begin with.

I dropped flaps and pulled round in a max rate.

Edit: Not to mention that deploying flaps will DECREASE your turn rate, not increase it. How can you be sure you were at max turn rate? I'd bet that you weren't. Min radius is not the same as max rate.
