The head coach will also lose the right to stand obviously.
The "bench area" is defined in rule 1-13-3 as an "imaginary rectangle formed by the boundaries of the sideline (including the bench), end line, and an imaginary line extended from the free-throw lane-line nearest the bench area meeting an imaginary line extended from the coaching box line". The opponent's bench sureasheck doesn't lie within that description.
Imo forget about the flagrant "T" unless there's something else involved like trash-talking. The other coach should have been "T"d as soon as he pulled that nonsense though.

What if a player from the other teams stands near the opponent's huddle during the TO?
Now what do you do?
Or...what if during a live ball, say during a FT, coach A calls his PG over to talk to him & an opponent walks over with him to listen in. What do you tell the coach when he complains?
