In my opinion participation in an altercation by bench personnel requires physical interaction.
As for others, the message must be clearly sent and understood at the HS level that the court is a no fly zone for anyone with a team, but the players and head coaches (plus possibly a trainer in a severe injury situation). This is a safety issue. The officials and players can't have random people entering the court. It needs to be made clear that immediate expulsion from the event is the consequence and I also support penalizing the associated team, if the affiliation is clear.
