A. Pregame Situations. Teams entering the gymnasium prior to the contest
should not run through the area occupied by the opposing team or under
the basket where opponents are warming up. Teams should only enter, jog
or warm-up on their own half of the court. Gatherings intended to
motivate a team after the warm-up period, during or following player
introductions and post-game celebrations should be performed in the area
directly in front of the team bench. If during the pregame or half-time
warm-up period one team leaves the floor, the other team should not use
the entire court; teams should only warm-up on their half of the court.
Only authorized personnel should be permitted on the floor. All spectators
should be in designated areas.

Yep, that's the one. I did not officiate last year, and it's not in this year's rule book. And now that I read it, it says "teams should not run ... under the basket where opponents are warming up." That means it's essentially a strong suggestion. So that means we should do nothing other than tell the coach, "Hey, don't do that."
