A rules question:  A team does not have to leave the court during a timeout.  Can they stand where the other team would bring their chairs out to?

Cougs didn't coug it.  They beat UCLA at Pauley.  They almost coug'd it though.

The officials did everything they could for the hometown team in that last quarter.  Fouls, out of bounds, and then an effective time out with 8+ seconds on the clock.

I would be in favor of a rule that if the officials need to go to the sideline to check the clock in the last minute, the players cannot go to the bench AND the coach cannot come out onto the floor.  Sorta like sending a boxer to a neutral corner.
