It makes all the sense in the world. The coach made an error. His team did not properly substitute. He could have easily corrected it with a time out. He chose to let the official make a judgement decision as to which penalty he was going to call. It is unimportant if you agree or disagree with what the official did. As a coach you should never ever let an official make a decision that can affect you when you have the opportunity to correct it.
