What about the status of the people on the bench during a timeout? Are the players still players and the bench personnel still bench personnel? [/B][/QUOTE]As Bob Jenkins said above, yes. There's no language saying otherwise. Also, there is supporting language in rule 10-1-9--"A team shall not fail to have all
players return to the court at approximately the same time following a
time-out or intermission."
There is language in a case book play --10.4.1SitB- that says all team members are bench personnel during intermission, but they would still become players again as soon as they walk onto the court after the intermission ended. There is no similar language covering time-outs that I know of.
