I'd guess that most schools have rules about leaving a student-athlete unsupervised in such a situation, but is it actually in the playing rules?

Read Posts 2, 13, 14, and 17. Players/Substitutes are to remain under adult supervision at all times. If a Game Official sees a Disqualified Player leaving the Bench unescorted by an adult, it is the responsibility of the Game Official to see that the Disqualified Player is supervised by an adult at least within the visual confines of the Court.
