What level of play?
Team warning for delay of game would be appropriate if he was Out Of Bounds to defend the thrower. Technical foul for next offense.
If his being OOB was... say to prevent an in bounds offensive player from running down the sideline... then your instructions were probably okay. "Gotta stay on the court."
With narrow sideline or endline areas, I like to place my foot at a particular board on the floor or designate an imaginary line and say to the defender stay behind this line. Don't reach beyond or step beyond this line and then hand the ball to the thrower. Sometimes this is difficult because no one will be there to defend until after you have handed the ball to the thrower.... now what? I suggest stopping the play, stating the boundary limitations and enforcing that boundary.
Narrow areas create some definite problems.
