I would say that this was a foul. The sustitute coming in must communicate with the player he is replacing to require that player to leave the field but if after a little while something has to be done. I don't know what the R's philosophy was but to me he gave A an out on this one. You might say that you should let A go for a while and see what they are going to do once the get unconfused and get them for a DOG if they can't figure it out in time or get them for IS after a while. So maybe his thinking was going down one of those paths and when you flagged it he decided they weren't far enough yet.
Now you are a U and you are required to count A but maybe he is used to being the only one to throw that flag and wasn't ready to do it yet.
Hard to say what his thoughts were but I would still throw the flag in that situation.
