I understand the POE on this, but what exactly is the consequence. Are we to just jump in front of the first kid running and stop him/her? Warn the coach? Give the team a T?

Rick, from last year's POE's:
"Officials should be prepared to assess a technical foul to a team member/team demonstrating these unsporting acts. The specific inappropriate actions of a few team members may be individually penalized or the entire team may be assessed one technical foul, if they collectively engage in any inappropriate behavior(s). Since all team members are considered bench personnel before the game and during intermissions, the head coach would also be charged indirectly with a technical foul".
