Our HS training specifically says not to tell a coach that a play is not protestable. That's much more defensible since we just note the protest and play on. That said, if I were that coach (and I wouldn't be), I'd continue you're conversation thus:

Coach: You're saying the rule doesn't allow me to protest that.
Umpire: Yes.
Coach: Fine, I protest the ruling that I can't protest.

And frivolous though that protest would be in that case it is in fact a protestable ruling because it's not a judgment.

Consider that you're case could have been
Coach: Blue, please ask you partner about that call, an obstructed runner can't be put out between the obstructed bases.
Umpire: Sure she can
Coach: You won't check with your partner?
Umpire: No.
Coach: I protest. Get the UIC.
Umpire: Coach, that is not protestable. Let's play ball!

And in that case I would be the guy protesting the refusal to let me protest. And then I'd win them both.
