Please explain to me where I can find the rule that says a T is not assessed if the officials fail to count the 6 players?

I had this in a varsity game two weeks ago. TO, we resume play, and I hear the V coach behind me. "That's a technical foul, they have 6." He said it quietly a couple of times (I was C). Just as H6 starts running off the court, I hit the whistle.

Home coach wanted to know if we weren't suppose to count. I basically gave him Jurassic's answer. "Yes, coach, we are supposed to count; but it's your responsibility to have the right number of players on the court."
