Wow! I would say that by rule you should issue a flagrant for all 10 players, two free throws for Team A, an indirect for the coach, and continue with two team A players.
But, I would also assess the whole atmosphere in the gym. For example, what do you think would have happened in an already charged up gym if you make this ruling? What is now a game management problem with fans could quickly escalate to you and your crew and, perhaps, make things worse. I think, from the sounds of things, you guys did fine and made an on the spot decision that not only continues the game but also prevented a potentially worse situation. I think this needs to be considered too.
