From the 2004-05 rule book:
POE 3A: The committee is also concerned about bench personnel leaving the bench, sometimes during a live ball. Heading into the hallway to get a drink or sitting up in the stands with friends or family, even for a short period of time are not authorized reasons unless they are medically related. Coaches must ensure that bench personnel stay on the bench."
Just wanted to add- I tend to agree, stay on the bench, coach do your job and take care of the team by traveling with drinking water. Players- stay the hell out of the stands unless you want to watch the rest of the season from there.
HOWEVER...
staying hydrated could be considered medically necessary
