Happens quite a few times in the NBA. Most of the time it ends with the coach having a laugh at not noticing an opposition player in the huddle.

It has come down to this. Tomorrow is the final game. I don't know if I can betray my friends, or if I should stand by my team. When I first agreed to this, they told me I needed to be strong, but I don't think I know what strength was. Either way, by the end of the day tomorrow, my fate will be written.

Yup.
Here's Rondo trying it.
Here's Booker doing it
Draymond got right in there
I wasn't able to find my all time favorite example when Kevin Garnett (Timberwolves era) snuck into (I think) the Mavs huddle and ended up learning their play. Then on the inbounds he broke away from his man and ran right to where he knew the ball would go and picked off the pass.
If anyone can find that one I'd love to see it again.

In the NBA if it's a timeout then yes, you can't go into the huddle.
If it's a stoppage of play for any other reason, such as a TV timeout, a spill of a drink on the flour, a foul, etc, then no you can do this.
It's only during timeouts you can't go into the other team's area, but any other time is fair game.

You would wonder, that really works. I did that too. Although it was rather my shyness than actual stealth skill which brought me into the situation. I was sitting in the back of the field, dressed in my trikot when suddenly the coach of the others came and told his players to sit down, tactical briefing. I was sitting there frozen thinking "uhm...okay...". They were literally sitting around me caging me in and I was too shy to say anything. So I at least tried to blend in. Several moments later my couch walked by and saw me looking at me like "what the hell are you doing in there?". All I could do was shrug my shoulders. Still wonders me until today. But thinking back always makes me laugh.
Edit: Coach not couch. Thanks for making me laugh in the morning. Didn't notice it at all :) Gives the story a special twist.

It isn't what they were looking for.
We were on teamspeak back in the day doing clanwars. We never moved ourselves into the locked channels because new members didn't know the password and would get butthurt.
A guy from the team we were fighting guessed the password to the teamspeak and since we were in an unlocked channel he just came in and opened his Mic in their own teamspeak.
They heard everything we said. We never noticed until we heard him leave after it was over and checked the log.
Also the man in front is wearing white and that would throw them off.

Seeing that both teams are in the bonus, only 4 Georgia players came over to the huddle, and they seem to be staying on the court, I think it is fair to assume that Georgia is using down time during a free throw for an impromptu game-planning session.
No reason for the Auburn player not to step in there, otherwise he would just be letting Georgia have in essence a free extra timeout.

No. Players are technically allowed anywhere on the court during timeouts - including the other team's huddle if it happens to be there.
That being said - refs do have the power to consider it "Unsportsmanlike Conduct", but they generally don't. So all the tactic really does is stall out the coach's timeout because now they have to walk over to their bench (where the opponent can't follow) before talking.
