I think you handled the situation very well. Like Rut said its not the first time its happened and won't be the last time you see it either.
Myself the worst thing that happened was a 13 yr old kid was jumping up to block a dunk attempt and as their hands both made contact on the ball the impact or pressure (not sure which) snapped the poor kids arm. He came down with a scream and ended up sitting under the basket for about 15 mins until I convinced him he wasn't going to die. I am an EMT and was the only qualified person in the gym who could reasonably administer first aid. Got him to the sideline and had his arm supported temporarily until the ambulance showed up. 30 minutes later we were off again.
I actually got quite a few complements about that game, so I guess it was one of the best and the worst all rolled into one.
