Technicals on bench personnel are charged indirectly to the head coach so the head coach would receive 2 indirect T's of the 3 indirect T's required to disqualify him.

Actually, if he gets a Direct T after receiving 2 Indirects, he's gone too. Don't have my books on me, but I believe it says something to the effect of 2 direct or 3 total to eject the coach.

Since there is no contact with an opponent. I would point to the following two rules and assess each player with flagrant unsporting technical fouls.

4-19-4 . . . A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent or savage nature, or a technical noncontact foul which displays unacceptable conduct. It may or may not be intentional. If personal, it involves, but is not limited to violent contact such as: striking, kicking and kneeing. If technical, it involves dead-ball contact or noncontact at any time which is extreme or persistent, vulgar or abusive conduct. Fighting is a flagrant act.

4-19-14 . . . An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play.
