David:

You were absolutely correct. If he didn't break either restriction, which you said he didn't, then he's good to go.
The one thing is after a situation like that with a coach, look it up, which you did, then call your assignor and let him know he may get a phone call. It's always nice to let the guy that takes the irate calls know the score before he gets it. That way he gives the same answer like it's a no brainer and you look twice as good.
