POE 4 in the 2003-04 rulebook said "Teams should remain in the bench area during 60- and 30-second time-outs".

First off, the OP said 10 players were on the floor. We don't know if all 10 were outside the bench area. And, where is that bench area? In 1-13-3 it lists a rather large area on the floor.

Btw, I assume if I were to have A shoot 20 FT's, I would have a real grumpy assignor to deal with.

Bowling is a much more civilized sport. When was the last time you heard of a fight breaking out at a bowling tournament?
