Coaches standing in box

As we have the 35-sec. shot clock for boys' games now.

It is a legitimate point that the shot clock operator needs to see the action in order to properly reset and start the device.

However, I'm having a hard time visualizing the table set up and the angle of view which would cause anyone standing in the team bench area to block the view of the table crew from more than a few feet of the playing court.

Consider what happens in the final few moments of close games when the entire bench jumps up to cheer about a play. I don't see this as anything more challenging to the shot clock operator, but I do note the difference in that the situation with an assistant coach isn't a legal action. So the point is that interference which shouldn't be occurring because the person isn't allowed to be in the way should be stopped.
