I actually did ask the R that since he was assesing 3 Ts to 1, wouldn't one on each side cancel out? He was very firm that they didn't because they were administrative. He did confer with his partners and luckily ruled that all these Ts didn't go towards the bonus.

He definitely should have given only 1 T to each side. From the NCAA rulebook:

3-3. Art. 3. Once the game begins, a team can be charged with a maximum of one indirect technical foul for the infractions listed in Articles 1 and 2 of this Section.

This certainly covers the situation you described.

Now, is this a double technnical?

4-26. Art. 11. Double technical foul. A double technical foul occurs when opponents commit technical fouls against each other at approximately the same time.

Hard to say whether this applies to indirect Ts, since no "opponent" has committed these Ts. I couldn't find an A.R. that referred to this kind of case, so I'll pass on expressing an opinion.
