Here in CA we were told that teams are to warm-up only on their side of the court, no matter if the other team is on the floor or not.
As for the pre-game lap around the court, we were instructed that this is not allowed at any time. The rationale we were given is that this is a form of intimidation and should be penalized as an unsporting act with a technical foul. I believe we were instructed that it is charged directly to the head coach, but I will double check this.
