I think you did well. At least several seconds are needed by most players to realize that the ball is dead and no more "hustle" is needed. Kids get so wrapped up in the play that they sort of lose track of whatever else is going on around them. They've had just enough practices, or rec games, where there is another game on another floor, that they have developed the habit of not stopping their play the instant they hear a whistle somewhere. It seems reasonable to give them a few seconds reaction time.
