Not to sound smart, but I didn't know refs could pick and choose which rules to enforce or whether if it was up for interpretation or not.

It's not about picking and choosing, it's about knowing what the rule was meant to address and applying the rule accordingly.
Personally, if a coach sends a player to the locker room, I'm going to simply remind him, "Coach, just a reminder that he needs to have an adult with him." I'm not going to call him back, and if he does return, I'm not holding the game up while he comes back.
And feel lucky the refs weren't being that literal with the rules, or they would have given you a technical foul for trying to influence an official's decision.
