A7 doesn't have to be fighting. Bench personnel are treated as if they were fighting when they leave the bench in a situation where a fight may break occur, even if it doesn't. Otherwise, we'd just give A7 a T and not DQ A7.

Rule 10-5-5: Leave the confines of the bench during a fight or when a fight may occur.

PENALTY: (Art. 5) Flagrant foul, disqualification of individual offender, but only one technical-foul penalty is administered regardless of the number of offenders.
