I have never had an issue with this. Usually just a friendly reminder to a team that it is a 30 second timeout works, but what if they refuse to stand?
Just looking for any thought on this.

2001-2002 NFHS Basketball Interpretations
SITUATION 11: Each team and the official scorer have been notified that Team A has called a 30-second timeout. Team A decides to sit down on its bench. RULING: Incorrect procedure. The official should first inform the coach that his/her team is to remain standing during a 30-second timeout. If the coach refuses to adhere to the officials’ request, an unsporting technical shall be assessed. (5-12-5)
