[QUOTE=BillyMac]NFHS Rules:
During a thirty-second time out, are bench personnel allowed to stand up during the charged time out, or are only the five players allowed to stand up ?

Instead of a rules reference, I'm going to refer to common sense -- which isn't nearly as common as it used to be. Don't overthink this one.The intent of this is to aviod delay in the teams coming out of a 30 second TO without delay. Some teams will try to drag this out, bring chairs on the courts, water, etc. The new clarified distinction between players and bench personnel does not infere that others than those on the floor at the time of the TO aren't allowed to participate in a TO huddle.
