YOU MAKE THE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

"She is extremely irritated that we took away a possible break a way lay-up"

was it a possible break a way lay-up or a for sure wide open lay-up?  if defenders are back then yes you stop the game.  If the player is all alone then I would say let it play.  However, the ref has an obligation to protect the players.  A face slam to the floor and a player bleeding is one of those times. 

I would say you made the right call Oldref.

If player is out of harms way let it go. Stop once basket has been made or when the ball cames to the other direction. This way was told to me when I was coaching a little dribbler BBALL game.

Logical thinking?  I don't know!  A call based upon wellbeing of a child and if not literally, at the very least in the spirit of injury and blood rules everywhere, sounds pretty doggone logical to me.

I guess I am glad he is reffing and you aren't Lt. Dangle.

Rules smules. Stop the game. Get medical attention. The child's injury comes first.

When I to camp over the summer the it was explain to me if its a 4 on 3, 3 on 2, and they are a break you let it go until the ball is scored or pull out to an non scoring position.
