There is no one to request a TO for a correctable error.
There is no one to hold accountable for the bench players' behavior.

Then the HC should have taken steps not to get DQ'd. If his removal results in his team losing certain privileges, too bad, there's a certain justice in that.
Notice that players can still be DQ'd because ANY coach can be notified for this since the rule does not specify HEAD coach.
If the player isn't replaced in time, a team technical foul can be charged.
