Riddle me that one Batman!
Um....maybe because that part of the POE referred specifically to bench personnel only? Doesn't it say that coaches must ensure that bench personnel stay on the bench?

And also maybe because that POE also discussed the problem of players leaving the court for "unauthorized reasons" in a completely different paragraph above the one related to bench personnel?

Two completely different concerns in the same POE, Nevada.

Good try though.
