Ron,
You should be feeling good for doing your job the right way. Unfortunately, it's the other referees who are NOT interpreting the rule correctly who set up this situation. By incorrectly applying the passback law, they have created an expectation in the minds of these young players that the keeper cannot handle the ball in this situation. While there's nothing you can do about the game that you described, you can help effect change in the future by including a discussion of the situation in your pre-game, especially when you're working with younger refs.
Hang in there!
