The the NF originally started using the 20 seocnd TO, it was suggested that the players stand. It disappeared from any of the books after the first year. My guess is that someone, somewhere complained about players sitting during a 20 or 30 and it was changed.
Sound strange? Not as strange as you make think. A couple of years ago, during a state championship game, a player in the first space moved all the way down to the baseline and waved his hand to distract the shooter. The next year, the Fed added the 8 inch line that now is equired on every FT lane.
