Hmm. I've never really considered a coach standing behind the bench. I don't have a rule book handy at the moment, is that specified in rule 10 that he cannot be behind the bench? I don't see a restriction (either) for the depth of the coaches box from the sideline going back toward the stands.
And then for the second quote, why would the coach not be able to stand behind the bench during a timeout? Is this because he's out of the defined timeout area? Would there be any advantage possible gained, or just a letter of the law enforcement on that?
