Team A's coach goes nuts on us for not stopping the play after the collision happened.
1) Should we have stopped the play at the point of the collision?
2) Or did we do the right thing?

I guess it's not so cut and dry. I mean... did the girls bash their heads together? Did they hit their heads on the floor when they fell? Or did they just run into each other and fall down? If they simply ran into each other, and there didn't appear to be any injury, then by all means let the play go and re-examine things after the basket.
I would never fault another official for killing play because he/she thought somebody was hurt/injured. Especially in a rec contest.
