The player for whom you called the officials' time out is the one that has to be removed for a play by rule. What the others do during that time (as long as it doesn't violate some other rule, like going over to the other bench and taunting them or something) is of no concern to me. If he's over listening to his coach or getting a drink or getting a massage or whatever, so what? As long as he's ready to go with the rest of them, this is a non-issue to me.
