I have players go to there benches. they make the first free throw while attempting the 2nd one team A's players and coaches get up walk down the out of bounds side line the shooter is shooting at. is this a violation or not? and where might i find this in a rule book.

I do not know of any violation that covers this act.

I suppose you could call a technical foul for bench decorum, if it was sever enough. However, the only person disadvantaged is the A player. I wouldn't call anything, and talk to the coach when (s)he returns from half-time, and ask that they remain in the bench area until the half has officially ended.
