Exactly. Bob was right. R10-4-4 only relates to bench players who come on the court but don't fight. Bench players that come on the court and fight are covered in rule 10-4-1(h) instead. The penalty for that rule states "If the offender is bench personnel, each foul is also charged indirectly to the head coach.

And if you don't wanna believe that, you can also take a look at the "Summary of Penalties for All Fouls" at the end of Rule 10. Particularly check out 8b(2)- "The head coach is assessed one indirect technical foul for each bench player participating in the fight".
