As long as they are not on the floor during play (and being on the other end during free throws does not count), I don't know if there is a specific rule regading this. If I find myself having to "weave" (never have) I would probably pull the ol' rule on items not specifically covered, call it a hazard, and move 'em. Like I said before, We are there for the players and coaches, and we should not let anyone get it the way of that.
However, we must also recognize that they put in their time too, and deserve to be on the floor as well. We should compromise.
