Getting a drink during free throws

[gostars]

This happened last night at a V-Boys game. The L is about to give the ball to A1 for the second of two free throws. B1 walks over to talk to the coach and asks for a drink. The coach hands him a Gatorade bottle. The L who was administering the free throws hit B1 with a T. The explanation given to the coach was that there was a new rule this year that you can't have drinks on the floor. I haven’t heard of this one. I know if he had stepped off the floor you could whack him for that. I can't find it in the rule book. Has anyone else heard of this rule?
