Is it a fight or not?

Not my game, but it happened in our association.

End-game situation, A is ahead by 3 with very little time left.

A1 at the line for one shot, and he misses. A2 gets the rebound and is intentionally fouled by B1.
A3 comes in and shoves B1 and they square off but no punches are thrown.

From the bench, A6, A7, A8, and A9 all come about 10 feet onto the court. None of these players engage in any activity.

Now, I know in a fight, they are all given a flagrant, coach is given one indirect, and two free throws are shot. My question here, is, since there was no fight, what do you do?

I seem to recall the rule says "or a fight may occur" on this one, but I don't have my book with me.

Otherwise, if this is not a fight, then you'd have 4 regular technical fouls, 4 indirects on the coach, and 8 free throws.
