Rule 5-12-5..."Players shall remain standing during the confines of the bench area during a 30-second time-out".

Rule 4-34-1..."A player is one of five team members who are legally on the court at any given time, except intermission".

Is this an intermission? Nope.
Are "bench personnel" also "players"? Nope, rule 4-34-2 separately defines bench personnel.

Ergo, bench personnel sits and players must stand during a 30-second TO.
