Delay the Restart of Play by Team Official should be a sending off offense

I noticed that in the game between the United States and Bosnia-Herzegovina, there was a moment where the coach for BH held onto the ball and did not release it to the US players. The referee came over and cautioned the manager. Even the announcers were saying this was a "yellow card". However, according to the LOTG, a team official who delays the restart of play by the opposing team by holding onto the ball should receive a sending-off. It is a caution if the team official delays the restart of play by their own team.

Am I reading that correctly, and do you think the officials in the game tonight got that call correct?
