Why does college basketball bring the bench onto the floor during timeouts?

Curious. I've seen teams do this but didn't know if there was necessarily a reason why.

If I had to guess it would be to get away from fans so you could hear better.

Aren't the NBA benches farther from the seats than CBB?

I was gonna say that and the rest of your team can more easily "gather around" for analysis maybe?

Because Cal has the area around the visitors bench mic'd. He needs every advantage he can get, you know, can't coach and all.

I always thought it was for the media so they can get the minicam shots that play well on TV.

, @ Mizzou fan having to ask why the bench is brought out on the floor. Would expect this from a Auburn fan since they don't have a basketball program.

It really is funny when an Arky troll backfires.
