I don't think that's right or fair. We are told to punish the physical and manage the technical, this is a classic example where it can and usually should be 'managed'. Clearly we are lacking the context, but this caution on face value seems unnecessary unless the player was an utter dick who had gone past his last chance or the match temperature warranted a caution.
I know it's correct in Law, but at my level at least i'd be expected to manage that. The OP hasn't really explained why the player wasn't allowed on as soon as the throw-in was taken, and it could be that the referee has been seen to cause the offence, so to speak.
You sum up my point well. In the bigger picture, we would be dismissing a player for 2 yellows who has not committed (or at least been sanctioned) for a foul. Bear in mind in no way am I saying that can never be the case but, it sounds like although you can be supported for the 2nd yellow, you can also be supported (subject to conditons) in managing it too
