When does a starter become a player??

Here’s the situation that led to this post.

I was observing a game at a tournament I’m working this weekend. As players were coming out for the opening tip, one of the starters was wearing a illegal undershirt. U1 approached him and let him known he couldn’t wear it. He took off his jersey and undershirt and put the jersey back on. U1 assessed the technical.

As we discussed it later, we talked about whether it should have been an indirect on the coach or not. Sounds like it should have been. They did not charge indirect to coach or seatbelt him.
