There is a new twist to this now since the NCAA is considering making a rule change for next season:
2004 ANNUAL MEETING MEN'S BASKETBALL RULES ACTIONS
Rule 10-3.15
pg. 128
A player who steps out of bounds of his own volition and then becomes the first person to touch the ball after returning to the court shall be charged with a violation rather than an indirect technical foul.
Rationale: This places a more consistent penalty of the offended team being awarded a throw-in rather than free throws for this rules infraction.
I don't know it this has been approved yet or not.
