I agree with you about the T, and furthermore while I don't believe that his rationale was a correct one since all the team members who were legally in the game at the time did return to the floor at approximately the same time, the official tried to do what he thought was best for the game. In other words he made an error while trying to do the right thing. I'm not going to condemn an official for that.
If I were the assignor of this official, I would advise the official that in the future if this ever comes up again that he should charge a time-out to the offending team and get someone in there to replace the player during that stoppage, if the league truly cares about this administrative regulation. Then I would make him work a freshmen girls games for me next week as his punishment!
