The play is posted on the NFHS website.

follow the links to basketball rules. You'll find a heading posted as "2005-06 Basketball Rules Interpretations". Click on that and the interpretations will come up on the right hand side of the page. It's situation #12.
But that applies to a player who deliberately interferes with the shot. It's not clear from that case that the same ruling would apply to the coach who's a few feet on the floor with no intent to interfere with the play but does interfere.
The coach did exactly the same thing as the sub on the bench in situation #12. They both came on the court illegally, and they both interfered with a play. I don't think that you need a roadmap on this one to say that the ruling should apply equally to all bench personnel who commit an act similart to the one outlined in that situation.
