Either one is not following the prescribed procedure and should not be allowed.
I have no idea what you said there

I thought there was a Casebook for a T here, but I can't find it. However, in addition to the Officials Manual, there is a mention of a T for DELAY for a similar situation on page 49 of the Handbook, (7) near top of the page.

And, it does make sense. I wager that there was a Casebook on this in the past.

Finally, I don't know what bad message this sends to a coach. It tells him that he shouldn't delay the game. And, this isn't equivalent to normally calling a player back to the bench; the player has been beckoned, and is disregarding an official--most officials would T a coach when he disobeys a command to quit arguing, for example.
