Well, after citing rule 10-4-4c as evidence that bench personnel may stand during any time out and quoting the comment from the 2001 - 02 Rule book that specifically allows substitutes to participate in the time-out meeting I got this reply back.
"Sideline is the key here, when the huddle is formed out on the court away from the bench, the 5 and 1 rule applies, that means no assistant coaches or bench players can be in the huddle. If the huddle is formed close to the sideline then bench personnel is allowed in the huddle."
