If he conducts his TO, he must do so within the area. There's nothing that requires him to do so, however. He can send his players out onto the court at any point, as long as they all return at approximately the same time.

There's nothing that says the players have to be there if the coach isn't conducting the timeout. Envision the situation where one of the teams, during a timeout, finishes early and wants to resume play early. They'll head to the court early and there's no penalty in doing so.

Disagree. If what you say were true, the players could be in the other team's timeout area. And I think you'll agree that they can't be there. Since the only distinctions are the indicated timeout areas, the players need to be in them during a timeout whether the timeout is being utilized or not.

I was envisioning the players staying on their half of the court. But you are correct.

So, when Team A is ready to go after 10 seconds of a 60 second timeout, you're going to force them to remain in the TO area? How early is too early?

I'll agree they can't be in the other team's huddle, but that can easily be enforced without forcing them into their defined TO area.

That's my thought. I'll keep them out of B's huddle, if necessary, but that's as far as I'm going with it.

5-12-5 says the timeout conference shall be conducted within the confines of the timeout area.

If there is no conference, as far as I'm concerned they can stay out on the court.

Are we talking the actual rule or the practical application of the rule?

By rule, they must be in their timeout area.

In practice, I'm not going to say anything about it as long as they're not closer to the other team's huddle than they should be and aren't otherwise doing something they shouldn't.

Players may sit or stand during a 60-second time-out, but must remain in their bench area.
The provided answer is "True".

So, by rule, at what point are they allowed to return to the playing court outside of their respective TO areas? I'm sorry, but it seems to me that rule is meant for a coach's decision to conduct his timeout some place outside the TO area. If he's not conducting it, I've got nothing by rule or by application.

If a team spends 10 seconds in their TO, are they allowed (by rule) to set up their offense regardless of where the throw-in will be held? 20 seconds? 30 seconds? After the warning horn?

The warning horn. That is the signal to return to be ready to play. Before that, they can linger around their own bench/timeout area but not beyond.

In practice, as long as they're not infringing on the other team's timeout area, I'm not going to address it if they come out early.
