Were they correct?

10-1-6: A team shall not have more than 5 members participating simultaneously.
PENALTY: Penalized if discovered while being violated.
Live ball not specified. When is a player considered to be participating? Preparing for a throw in, players jockeying for position, I would consider that to be participation. Coach sees the problem, requests time out, you count six heading off the court, I have no problem with making the call then, others may disagree.
One thing I know. Nothing sends a buzz through the crowd any better than 6 on the court.
