Are you prepared to call a technical foul on any member of the bench personnel that doesn't stand? Or do you simply tell them all that they must stand? And how can bench personnel remain standing if they weren't allowed to be standing before the 30-second TO was called?

Somehow, I don't think that your logic is working very well either.
But Woddy, it doesn't say anything about what bench personnel are required, allowed, or forbidden to do. I think that's Camron's point. I would think that since there is a rule that specifically allows bench personnel to stand during a "charged time out", that they could stand. Why would that not be the case?
