T for the flop

Could we explore this a little more?

I'm of the opinion that EVERY technical foul on bench personnel has to be charged directly to some individual.
In other words, I don't believe that you can justify making it a team technical foul even though you are unsure who said it. I think that you have to pick someone over there and charge it to that person, which could be considered worse if you are incorrect.
Although, I actually do happen to share your philosophy somewhat. That behavior can't be overlooked just because the official isn't sure of the specific offender. I would just like to see the soccer policy adopted.
(In soccer the NFHS specifically put in a rule that the coach gets the card if the referee can't determine which bench member made the comment.)
But I don't believe that our current NFHS Basketball Rules Book supports the decision your crew made.

If I don't know who said it, I'm going to give the coach the indirect T. Unless he is a total dimwit, he's going to take care of the individual to make sure it doesn't happen again. I think that it is the purpose of the indirect. I am not going to worry about the other bench person if I don't know exactly who it was. If the coach doesn't clean up the bench, then he will be the first to go.
