Yes, the player should go to the X (if there is one), but once you beckoned the player, isn't he legally in the game? In other words, if the official allows the sub, then the sub is legal. No T.
There is a rule that states when an illegal sub becomes a legal player, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Rule 3-3-3: Illegal sub becomes player when the ball becomes live
I agree that I probably wouldn't assess the T (especially if I had beckoned them in), just remind the player & warn the head coach of the correct procedure. If it happened again I would penalize.
Procedure for HS games in Oregon is we won't start the game until the X is down - athletic tape works just fine. I'll also tell coaches in the pregame to make sure their subs report in & wait by the X - otherwise they're not coming in.
