After looking at this a little closer, especially page 76, here is what I came up with:
Rule 4-34-3
"A sub becomes a player when he/she legally enters the court."
In this situation the player entered the game while the ball was alive and was not beckoned, therefore is still considered bench personnel under control of the head coach.
Page 76
Under 'Bench Personnel':
"enter court without permission"
Penalty Charged to:
Sub/Bench personnel, counts towards disqualification and team-foul count AND is charged as an INDIRECT to the head coach.

Dubby read just a little further there.... "if entry is not legal, the substitute becomes a player when the ball becomes live." since the sub entered during a live ball they became a player immediately. If they weren't a player there couldn't be a T for either illegal substitution or for the 6th player. Since A6 is a player, the T is not charged indirectly to the Coach.
