Your R was correct. It was too late to assess the technical foul. If a name is added to the book after the game is started, the technical foul must be assessed prior to the next live ball. In your situation, it was obviously too late. Here's a similiar case book play.
10.1.2. Play: (a) Three minutes prior to the start of the game; or (b) during a time-out in the second quarter of play, the Team B coach requests the scorer to add a name to the squad list or change a squad member's number in the scorebook. When is the penalty invoked for this administrative infraction? Ruling: The infraction occurs when the scorer is advised to add to or change the scorebook. The foul must be charged when it occurs and enforced when the ball next becomes live. Once the ball has become live, it is too late to penalize.
