Don't think 10.1.5C agrees with you. It's not a violation. It's a T, if merited.
10.1.5C: "...
(after a foul is reported)...(b) two B players are not occupying the first two marked spaces next to the end line as required. RULING: ... In (b), Team B will be directed to occupy the required spaces. If there is a delay, a team technical foul shall be charged to team B."
I blew this two years ago by giving a DoG warning instead of a T when the coach insisted on keeping his five players by him near his bench while we were preparing for the opposing team to shoot free throws on the other end.
