To take it a step further, 4-34-4 defines a team member is "a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and eligible to become a player." So, 10-1-6 says it's a technical foul when more than five TEAM MEMBERS are on the court. When you look at it that way, none of the aforementioned are technical fouls, though I highly doubt that's what the rulewriters meant.

Perhaps this whole thing needs a rewrite.
