That is what a prematch is for...
Hopefully, during your prematch conference with your partner, you will discuss how you want to handle card requests. In one of the associations to which I belong, we are told to discuss this situation and then, if the umpire wants a yellow card, they are to show the index finger in the middle of the chest and if they are requesting a red card, they discretely show two fingers. Hopefully, we will not have a request for a disqualification (in 22 high school seasons, I have only had 2 instances where we had to DQ anyone from a match).
Tony, as Homer indicated, you should have backed the umpire's request for a YC. Since this is Federation rules, it is a warning and tells the coach that they have reached the line. In the situation that you gave, the coach crossed the line into minor unsporting behavior when she said, "yeah, right!" Plus, she was off the bench inappropriately...protesting a ball-handling call in itself is close to minor unsporting (depending on tone of voice, volume, etc.)
