Wrong. There is a T in the book for this play (subs coming in during play). It's for a sub entering unbeckoned.

I think you handled it correctly and the coach is going to have to live with the decision.

This is not our responsibility. The T is there because it's the coaches' responsibility. As a courtesy, we will try to hold the ball up to allow subs to enter and depart as required.
