Quote:
Section 7. Bench Area
Art. 1. The boundaries of the bench area shall be formed from the outer edge of the sideline and an imaginary line extended from the sideline to the back of the team bench and the 28-foot line (coaching box line).
Art. 2. During any timeout or before any extra period, bench personnel and players shall locate themselves inside an imaginary rectangle formed by the boundaries of the sideline (including the bench), end line and an imaginary
line extended from the free-throw lane line nearest the bench area meeting an imaginary line extended from the coaching-box line.

From reading this, I see that the bench area is extended during timeouts.
