I know it bears no meaning to the game but rules are rules, aren't such action considered serious and both teams should be called for technical fouls?

There's the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. If it's apparent everyone is on the same page, leave it alone. Making a call in that spot only draws (very unwanted) attention to yourself.
If there are more than ten seconds remaining, the ball is in the backcourt and I'm near the person who has it I will tell them - quietly - remember to get into frontcourt. Apart from that, I'll let life play out and stay on the court until the buzzer sounds.
Trouble has a way of finding us in the best of situations. Why go looking for it?
