Because the eavesdropping is unsportsmanlike? Or because it's a T to be outside the bench area during a TO?

Well, the language I cited seems to support a T for being outa the bench area during a TO.
But......maybe you can also take your choice.
Being outside the bench area is a
team T under R10-1-4(the language is close enough, methinks).
Or.....you can call it a player T under the generality of R10-3-7--"commit an unsporting foul".
Personally, I like the option that also gives the coach the indirect T and the seatbelt. It's fun putting that sad look on your face and saying "Gee, I'm
really, really sorry, coach, but you're gonna haveta keep your a$$ on the bench for the rest of the game".
