He instantly got a panicked look on his face and told me that the kid had gotten blood on his uni in the JV game and that they'd switched jersey's. We asked the kid what his number was supposed to be and he instantly replied 11. There was in fact an 11 in the book. They were down by 30 and coach was just wanting to get some JV kids in the game. We played on since the kid was obviously supposed to be number 11. We played on and both coaches were fine with that.
What would you/should we have done?

If he was up by one, do you think the other coach would be OK with it? If you called a T for enforcing the rules, I don't think offending coach would have a problem with it.
When someone wants me to ignore the rules, I ask(nicely) which ones would you like me to enforce?
That said, I'd say it's your call. Clearly just a pedestrian tech and nothing more.
