Sure. The scenario actually happens all the time. The classic end-line throw-in where the thrower in waits out of bounds while a screen is being set for him, then pops inbounds out to the corner for an open 3.
You tell the player to "come inbounds, come inbounds, come inbounds," they usually do, and you have nothing.
If the player ignores that plea, delays returning and the play "works," you call the T. I've done it ... maybe twice in my career.
I've also called it just a violation, (which is not the rule, of course), maybe twice as well, and when the player or coach bitches, I explain, "It's actually a technical, so you're welcome."
Making the call is rare, but the scenario and play are not rare at all.
