The only call that could be made here is an unsporting technical foul on a member of bench personnel.

If the sub interfered with a member of the opposing team during play, it is probably a T. I could see passing on it, if it was clearly not an unsporting act. If it was his own team, just call the play as if there were no contact between these two.

Darn right it would matter to me.
