I've always been told to "err on the side of safety". If there is any doubt about the severity of the injury, I'm stopping play no matter what the situation. This is especially true at younger levels like Jr. Hi. At the college level, I would proably be a little more patient in my decision, with a HS game somewhere in between the two.
All that being said, I agree with your actions based on the situation you described. This is a great example of when to use the best "camp" mechanic I ever learned:
Nod your head up and down and say "Yes, sir and thank you for the advice" then go on with your officiating!
