This rule is not written to collectively penalize technical fouls by a team, but rather by individuals. Don't make it into something which it isn't. We need to adhere to the text of the rule as written.
I think you have to look at the situation and analyze the whole thing. If the OP happens in the second quarter, and the AC makes a snide remark a few minutes later, no. But if all of this happens with 20 seconds left in a game with a 25 point spread, and before the HC ever makes it out of the gym the AC stands up and screams "WHAT DID YOU EXPECT HIM TO DO? YOU A**HOLES HAVE BEEN SCREWING US AROUND ALL NIGHT!!" Yeah, I just might pull the plug on this one.
