This is correct, but Refsmitty should also be aware that the delay would be only a few seconds to allow the play to finish at the other end. I generally whistle once the player with the ball stops his drive to the basket (passes or shoots).
Very few injuries need those extra few seconds: I would stop play immediately for arterial bleeding (spraying blood), bleeding from the ears, and unconsciousness (possible cardiac issue).
