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)

There's a general strategy here: although the rules lack a penalty specifically for a given behavior, there is a penalty for failing to follow an official's instructions. Remind them of what they're supposed to do, and then penalize accordingly if the behavior doesn't change.
