This is one of those times where I think you have a little leeway. I know I have had that same situation several times. I have handeled it both ways. If this is a coach that has been on your case all game I probably would have done it the way you did. If it's been a good game with no problems, I might just correct it. I think you could just make the change, since play hasn't started and you would be fine even though at the start of the game after you get the lineups and a coach wants to make a change before play starts it is still a substitute. No problem in my eye the way you did it, but I think you could have just made the change.
My Opinion only, and does not reflect the proper ruling by ASA.
