5-3-1-d, which states the first referee determines the ground rules
pre-match, not in the middle of the match.
When you had the coach/captain discussion before the coin toss, presumably you laid out the ground rules. If the coach had an issue with the bench location, that was the time to discuss it.
Once the match starts, the ground rules are in effect for the match, and not subject to negotiation or change.
