The rule book addresses only one T when the bench players enter the court during a fight (and don't participate). Rule 10-4-4: Penalty: Flagrant foul, disqualification of individual, but only one T regardless of number of offenders. Coach gets one indirect T, and , if he also enters the court, gets one direct T.

The situation above that MDRAY questions does not involve entering the court during a fight. Rule 10-4-2 states that bench personnel shall not enter the court unless by permission of an official to attend an injured player. And, Rule 10-4-1(g) remarks about team members rising from the bench in excitement, but immediately sitting down not being penalized (my wording). The penalty for articles 1 and 2: two free throws plus ball. Foul is charged to the offender and indirectly to head coach. So, according to rule it seems that EACH player will be assessed a T.

Not sure if that is how it would be handled in reality, but would like to see if a rule states differently.
