We've discussed this before. The official is supposed to charge someone with a direct technical foul in these cases. Here is the penalty section for 10-4-1,2,3,4.
PENALTY: (Arts. 1, 2, 3, 4) Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in. If the head coach is the offender, the foul is charged directly to him/her. The foul is charged to the offender (if not the head coach) and also charged indirectly to the head coach.
However, if you truly don't know who said it, some have argued that you can charge it as a Team technical foul. Of course, Team technical fouls are NOT charged indirectly to the Head Coach. Others have contended that the Head Coach should be charged directly based upon this statement in 10-4: "The head coach is responsible for the conduct and behavior of substitutes, disqualified team members and all other bench personnel."
The fact is that there is no clear answer in the NFHS book.
