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.
No, again, it only refers to the players. The players must remain standing. It places no requirement on the other team members to either stand or not.

Additionally, there is NO penalty specified for the players not standing. If they choose to sit, what is the call. Nothing!
