As a suggestion, if this comes up in the future, tell the actual coach that extraneous people have to go. Makes it much easier (you don't have to deal with it) and now the responsibility is on someone who can be penalized for noncompliance.

You should have walked up to her and said "I'm glad you are here!!! We are always short of officials." Then invite he on to the court then not start the game until she joined you or took of the shirt.

This is exactly why I carry an extra whistle.

Considering that I wouldnt know who had, or hadn't, gone through some coaches clinic, the best course would be to identify the head coaches, which means any other adult would be "assistants" and dealt with accordingly. If they are quiet, I dont see them.
I'm not going to ask each adult on the bench to produce their "official assistant coach membership card", before a game....
