However, I see Bob's point in ruling that the delay by the fans stopped the game, so the team members entering the court did not further delay the game.

The fact that you have only one T for several members of the team entering the court should tell you that you only have one T here. Even though multiple team members enter, you only penalize the team. That makes it clear that for the situation, they only want ONE T instead of every team member that left the bench getting a T. Extend that principle and you still end up with ONE T if team members and fans enter the court.
