Defensive conference

Question
Guest CoachDave
First inning, and pitcher begins warm-up. After 3 throws, his coach comes out to talk to his pitcher. I got the umpire's attention and said that that was their first defensive conference. He said no it wasn't. I asked why and he said that the ball was never put in play, no action was stopped, no charged defensive conference. I have looked up the rules and do not see why he ruled this way.
Was the umpire right or was I ? Can you please cite the rule to cover this situation. Thanks in advance.
