It seems to me it was written to address coaches heading to the locker room when there are still FTs to be shot prior to half time. I'm not sure it was written to prevent B1 from stepping OOB to get a drink of water before the quarter break.

Snaqs.....
Wording with slash implies on court and can be in bench area. I agree, wording can be misconstrued.
That said, I'll never kick this one.
