Yes he is...100% wrong. I went to the PIAA Web site looking for this phantom interpretation...and surprise, it does not exist. This is the interpretation the PIAA printed last season. Nothing it printed this year covers this topic, so clearly this is where things stand:

PLAYERS LEAVING THE BENCH :
Players leaving the bench during an altercation or when a fight may break out are assessed a flagrant technical foul whether they participate in the fight or not. That means that every one of the players are ejected to the bench and disqualified from participation the very next game at that level. The two players who are involved in the altercation are also charged with double flagrant personal fouls or double flagrant technical fouls depending on whether the altercation took place while the ball was live or during a dead ball situation. They also are ejected to the bench and disqualified from participation the next game at that level. Each technical will count toward the bonus. We know that we do not shoot any fouls for double personals or double technicals. As for the players coming off the bench, if there an equal number for both teams, then they would cancel out each since they are classified as simultaneous technicals. If, they are unequal, we will only shoot one technical foul no matter what the disproportional number is, if they do not participate in the altercation. However, if they do participate, we will shoot one technical for each disproportional number. For example, three A players come off the bench and five B players come off the bench and do not participate, even though the disproportionate number is two, we will only shoot one technical.
Using the same example, only this time they do participate, the disproportionate number is two so we will shoot two technicals. Also, the head coaches are assessed one indirect technical foul no matter how many come off the bench and do not participate. However, for those who participate, the head coaches will be assessed one indirect technical for each participant. Remember, if you have a double personal or technical on the floor, and a corresponding number of players coming off the bench from both teams, we will administer the throw-in from the point of interruption. If we have a disproportionate number coming off the bench, we will administer the throw-in at the division line opposite the table after the free throws have been completed.

COMMENT: Disproportionate number of players come off the benches and do not participate, the maximum penalty is one technical. Disproportionate number of players come off the benches and do participate, one technical for each.
