Does standing behind the bench make someone 'bench personnel'? I would think eventually some fan would tell him to sit his big butt down so they can see the game.

sorry -- there was no seating behind the bench/table area in this gym -- just a few extra feet and a wall. So no one was on that side of the floor that wasn't a part of the game.
