Leaving the bench prematurely?

Some may disagree but that’s how I would handle it and/or discuss it with my crew.

If the opposing team doesn’t have a timeout or chooses not to use one, or if it isn’t called absolutely immediately, then I have a bench technical per 10-5-2.

Standing by for the NCAA interps of this case. It’s a little different there since the clock automatically stops in this situation.

Would Rule 10-6-5 (Head Coach'e Rule) cover it better being that the players didn't leave the bench during a fight situation?

You’re conflating 10-5-2 with 10-5-5. 10-5-2 is adequate here and has nothing to do with a fight/fighting.

10-5-2:Bench personnel, including the head coach, shall not:
Enter the court unless by permission of an official to attend an
injured player.
