injury...circumstances...should i have let the play finish?

high school freshman girls game. brutal game. ended up with 64 total fouls and three injuries. whistled early and often to try and get the game under control, never could. talked to coaches at halftime, etc...to no avail.

one of the injuries was in the third quarter, girl fell wrong and ended up on the floor for 20 minutes. while she was down my partner and I (again) talked about calling it close, trying to get it under control, etc...

early in 4th quarter, visitor center goes for rebound, ends up just tipping it out to a home players guard, she's off to the races with a fast break...visitor center lands awkwardly, i can hear her elbow hit the floor, and i know she's hit her head also. i immediately whistle the play dead even though i know there's a fast break going...i know this could be another serious injury.

home coach goes nuts, says i cost her a fast break lay-up, etc...i tell her that in a girls freshman game this physical with yet another potential serious injury i'll call that play dead everytime.

i was lead when play started, trail going other way. after whistle, i go to injured player (screaming in pain) and motion for coach.

did i do the right thing?
