Which team was the bench personnel on?

If the bench personnel is Team B & the fan Team A (or vice versa), what would happen?

All 3 questions are completely irrelevant. The ruling given applies for all situations. Team members aren't supposed to leave the bench for any reason.

However if the spectator is a fan from the opposing team, <strike>that team's HC could get an indirect charged, </strike> or the <strike>floor</strike> officials can just ask that the spectator be removed from the premises depending on the seriousness of the actions from the spectator & how thick-skinned the <strike>floor</strike> officials are. (I'm trying to remember the rule for this but right now can't remember :( )

As for a T? How do I know which team the fan is supporting? Nope, game management will deal with him as they see fit.

And 10-3-6i doesn't apply to bench players.
