Not clear why you had no choice but to issue a T Chuck. Obviously, if ball is live with 6 on the court, it is normally a T. But if you made it live too quickly, because B1 had just legally entered court and you gave B2 no chance to get off, you should have a quick whistle, give B a chance to make it right, and continue on. I think this is the flipside of your inadvertent whistle - and inadvertent live ball 
It is not proper to T up B in this situation. Perhaps you meant to say that you shouldn't have T'd them up, but that isn't clear from my reading of your post.

If the ball is live w/ six on the court we have to issue a T. I don't have my rules book w/ today to give citation but it is clearly written. Unfortunately as Chuck already feels bad enough about it is our preventative officiating that keeps this from happening. "Sorry coach, we screwed up but we have to T you for having to many on the court" If we do not issue a T immediately upon discovering this the other coach no has a legit b*tch for us allowing the other team to play w/ an advantage.
