V coach doesn't agree and starts to argue, to no avail. After W1 had thrown the ball into W2 in their backcourt (with no pressure), I hear the horn and look up to see V coach standing by the bench; as if he wanted to request a correctable error.
Knowing it wasn't correctable, I ignored the horn and told the girls to play on.
Should I have stopped play to go through the motions of addressing the coach's "correctable error?"

If he'd been a real jerk about stuff the whole game, I'd stop the game, listen to him, tell him it's not correctable, and charge him the time-out.
If he'd been mostly okay, but kind of a jerk about this one thing, I'd make the girls play on, as you did.
If he's been basically good to work with, and was obviously new and just didn't know the rules, I'd explain one more time, and then add, "if you still need to talk more, we can do that after the game."
