I once witnessed a mass substitution like this during a live ball. This was a girls' game and the team's head coach had never coached basketball before. She was a volleyball coach who got handed the job because there was nobody else to do it.

So play is going on and she wants to make some substitutions. She has 3 or 4 girls from the bench stand up, pushes them onto the floor, makes the traveling signal (it's the substitution signal in volleyball) and yells "SUBS!"

It was absolutely hysterical. I'm not certain what the refs did about it, but I think they just sent everybody back to the table and resumed the game, then had them come in at the next whistle.
