Well, lacking direct instructions from your local governing body, we could also follow the directions from the NFHS POE that I cited 3 days ago in post #8 of this thread. It's still valid afaik.

From POE #3 in the 2002-03 rulebook re: pre-game situations:
"The specific inappropriate actions of a few team members may be individually penalized or the entire team may be assessed one technical foul, if they collectively engage in any inappropriate behavior(s). Since all team members are considered bench personnel before the game or during the game, the head coach would also be charged indirectly with the technical foul(10-4-1d; 2-8-1)."
Note that the rules cited to back that POE haven't changed to date. That's good enough for me. I've got something in writing to cover my azz if I follow that POE, not an "opinion".
