As you say, there is no "deaf section" in the rulebook. We have to, therefore, work with the rules we have. And those rules tell us that only the head coach is allowed to stand in the bench area. It hardly seems overly judicious to enforce this explicit restriction. If you allow the interpreter to stand, are you going to allow an assistant coach on the other team to stand, as well? B/c you know the other coach will ask.
So how do you get around that explicit restriction? Either the interpreter stays in the bench area, but must remain seated; or we find another place for the interpreter where s/he can stand.
Sorry if that is -- pfft -- ridiculous.
