I guess you could make a case for this under 10.3.7.a (Delay the game by such acts as: preventing the ball from being made live promptly or from being put in play.)
I think this would be a stretch, though. If you force the player to enter, then you are sending the message to the coach that when he sends a player to the table and you beckon that player in, that player is coming in - period. I don't think pulling a player back once they've reported is any different in theory than trying to insert a player without having reported. Either one is not following the prescribed procedure and should not be allowed.
