Team members on bench must remain seated accept to spontaneously react to outstanding play. Must then sit immediately. If they stand and remain standing I would simply tell coach they are not allowed to stand unless it is a quick response to a great play. If they stay up and continue to do so I will have to address it/penalize. Something like that will usually take care of bench issues.
(They can stand to report in and during TOs obviously.)
