Sorry partner but you're wrong.
In your play, the substitute is at the scorer's table waiting to come into the game and enters unbeckoned. This is a direct technical foul on the player under 10-2-2. It is also found in the Technical Foul Summary table under Substitute. It is not an indirect on the coach. The table and rule are clear on that.
Also, 10.2.2 is your exact play.
10.2.2 SITUATION: During a live ball and with the clock running, substitute A6 enters the court.
RULING: A technical foul is charged if recognized by an official before the ball becomes live following the first dead ball.
Your reply is referring to any bench personnel who leave the bench and enters the floor. This is a direct technical foul on the player under 10-4-2. It is also found in the Technical Foul Summary table under Bench Personnel. It is an indirect on the coach, unless of course, the coach is the one entering the floor unbeckoned. Then it would be a direct T. This rule addresses ALL bench personnel, not just substitutes. 10-2-2 specifically addresses substitutes.
If I'm incorrect, please tell me in what situation you would use 10-2-2 and the ruling under Substitute in the table. If you're correct, why would even 10-2-2 exist?
