Quite true, but this technical foul does not fall under the bench personnel group.
Here's why:
If this happened after a TO or intermission, then the kid is still one of the five players legally in the game and his returning is a
team technical foul according to 10.1.9.
If a different kid comes onto the court, we have a
substitute technical foul for either not reporting to the scorer or not being beckoned by an official.
Either way, the head coach does not receive an indirect T per the chart on page 73.
If this happened after another dead ball, then the precise call is less clear due to the change to 10-3-3. I would likely call the T under the new 10-3-3 or 10-3-7. I don't believe that I could justify a team technical here.
Therefore, this one is a
player technical foul and the head coach still doesn't receive an indirect T per the chart.
