Article 4.2 (FIBA) says that "team followers" are people allowed to sit on the team's bench, so spectators are not team followers. Moreover, article 38.2.5 says:

All other areas, including entrances, exits, hallways, dressing rooms, etc., come under the jurisdiction of the organising body of the competition and the public order enforcement officers.
