Very difficult situation for officials. I don't see how it's possible to obtain all necessary information about every player's, every coach's involvement from both teams to enforce the NFHS fight rule when a scum like this breaks out.
Thoughts?

It isn't, not without replay equipment -- and probably not even then.
Top of the list, in my opinion, is noting who came off the bench and whether they participated or not. Also who on the court participated in the fight. Still, it's tough to make sure you got every flagrant technical that you should get.
Anyone who doesn't know the fight rules well (who gets flagrant technicals, which ones count as indirects against the head coach, how many free throws are shot) should take the time to learn them before they have a fight. You may never need this knowledge, but if you have a fight it's going to be bad if you screw that piece up.
