There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. The current rule about an actionless contest (10-1-5) has no applicability to this situation. If you notice, all of the examples listed under that rule are for times when a team prevents the ball from being put into play. In this case the ball is already in play. There is no rule which dictates HOW a team must play other than that they cannot do anything unsporting. BTW, I don't see any reason that the players couldn't sit down on the court if they so wished. I believe that the officials would be incorrect to instruct them not to do that.
If an official in my area attempted to do anything to a team employing the strategy of stalling, then that official would certainly get a stern talking to before being assigned to another varsity contest.
