No. I don't see how a double T serves any purpose here. The penalties would just offset, and I can't justify charging one to any individual so they would simply have to be team techs anyway. So no one is going to get into any trouble by being disqualified. Therefore, what's the point?
The best suggestion that I've heard for this type of thing is to ask the coaches if they simply wish to shorten the quarters--perhaps to just a few seconds. That's allowed by the rules. Maybe they only wish to effectively play only one quarter of basketball or perhaps even less.
If they don't want to play at all, then double-forfeit the game and go home.
In any event it makes for a short night for the officials.
