I know it bears no meaning to the game but rules are rules, aren't such action considered serious and both teams should be called for technical fouls?

If it is your style of officiating to try to address situations such as this in the manner you suggested, you're going to struggle to be successful. Having a feel for the game is just as important (if not more so) as knowing how to administer the game.

When the teams clearly have end the game by a lack of competition with literally seconds left, let them end the game. And I have yet to have a single supervisor tell us to do anything different.
