(The other coach was suggesting that even if we could do it it would be a tech more often than when the DQ'd player committed a foul.) If we could replace him, who gets to choose whether D6 or D7 comes in?
You cannot replace a DQ'd player for an injured player. The official was right (as usual). You have to play 5 on 4 or until the officials feel that you cannot win the game any more.

Jeff,

I think I know what you probably meant, but I don't believe the referee should stop the game when one team has four players, regardless of the score. I think the referee only needs to determine whether a team still has a chance to win when that team has been reduced to one player.
