Yes, "umpire jeopardy". The illegitimate move by that runner or coach had to be corrected. Both should be restricted to the bench.
This is the crux of the issue:
"The run that was walked in was allowed to count, because we didn't see a way of returning a scored run after pitches were thrown."
I guess you were correct about after another pitch; but hopefully another solution exists.
