Too many players on the court

See case book play 10.1.6(a). In that situation, the technical foul is called after the clock has stopped and no one is participating. That shoots your theory down.

Not at all - because the officials knew, while time was still on the clock, but there's a problem with reporting.

My situation is closer to 10.1.6(b) - if no one notices until the game is over, the game is over.
