BTW, where was the coach in all this? (Yeah, I know, it's a theoretical situation) Why would he let three players do this without taking some action, hopefully after the first one, but definitely after the second.

There isn't any rules basis for it. Sorry I wasn't clear, but I'd be in favor of amending the rule to put a cap on pre-game indirect technicals. Although the frequency of this situation is such that it wouldn't really have any effect at all. But since we're already getting theoretorical.

As for the coach, not sure there's much he can do to physically prevent the players from doing this. They've already decided they don't want to play for him, so unless he can physically restrain them, I doubt he can stop it.
