I disagree that this is a technical foul on the coach. Case book play 3.3.5 sit B says

A1 appears to be injured and an official properly halts play and the Team A coach rushes onto the court to check A1. However, A1 is okay and seems ready to play within a few seconds. Ruling: A1 must be removed as the coach came onto the court. A1 may remain in the game if the coach does not come on the court and A1 is ready to play immediately. If the coach or other bench personnel have come onto the court, the player must be replaced. There is no set amount of time as to what is "immediately," but it should not involve more than a few seconds and it must be without the coach, trainer or doctor being beckoned and/or entering the court. The coach may also call a time-out to keep the player in the game.

It doesn't say the coach was beckoned, rather it says that the coach rushes onto the court. And at the end, it says both being beckoned and/or entering. Also, it doesn't say a T should be called, so if the NFHS wanted a T called, wouldn't the case book play say to do that?
