Question: rules on celebrating

Sit: Team A has never won a district title, after the last point of the match, team A and subs and fans storms the court for a celebration, "Before shaking hands with the opponents." Just wondering if there was a rule to back up what the ref said he was going to do if they didn't line up and shake hands??

The ref said if they didn't line up to shake hands immediately, he could
A. take the last point away
B. give it to the other team
c. give the other team the ball for the next serve

IS ALL OF THIS EVEN POSSIBLE??? Just wondering for further reference. I know they need to shake hands, but goodness, let the kids celebrate a little bit.
And oh yeah, the point before this happened, the girls on the bench thought it was over so they stormed the floor a little bit early and he gave their team a time out for delay of game!!! And said lucky you had one left or he would of took that point away too and gave the opponents the ball.... Just thought this might be a little excessive and if there are rules to back up these situations or was he just being a jerk....
