Kinda reminds me of MS/HS soccer games when players get hurt, coaches and some officials tell all the players to "take a knee". I have played, coached, and reffed for 20+ years and have never understood why.
I dislike players gathering at the division line for T. They tend to continue the banter from the previous play. I have seen games like this where a T was called during a T. Yuck!
Kids should just go to their benches, both for getting calm and receiving instructions, but as mentioned, no legal requirement for such actions.
