Dubby,
Don't make a habit of looking for a reason to give a T either indirectly or otherwise. The technical foul penalty summary clearly states Substitutes: entering court; no report; not beckoned. That covers the situation exactly. I think the bench personel they are referring to in entering the court are asst coaches trainers, or other subs that enter during a fight. The reason being the coach is in charge of his bench. When the kid goes to the table the coach is no longer in control of him so to speak. Since the coach isn't in control of him, you don't penalize the coach for his actions. This is one problem I see about telling the coach first about a DQ for a players 5th foul. Now the kid is bench personel and when you tell him if he pops off and gets whacked the HC also gets one even though he doesn't have the opportunity to cool the kid down first..IMHO... I do realize there are deeper issues if the kid pops off such as coaching in practice...
