It's perfectly legal in all codes....
The coach who was reffing was totally incorrect. Any legal substitute may enter the game for anyone else at any time as long as the substitution occurs during a dead ball (exception: not allowed during a reserve in college women, USAV 14 & Under and NFHS).
Have the reffing coach read USAV 15.6 or NFHS Rule 10, sections 1, 2 and 3.
