It is a technical foul if thrower A1 delays returning to the court after being out of bounds for the throw-in.
Do we care if team A plays actively with four players until A1 decides when he/she decides to come on the court after their throw-in? I certainly would understand if A1 just went to the locker room or into the stands...for reason for a technical for delay.....but this situation doesn't apply, does it?
I believe the answer is FALSE. Agree?

I dont know the history of the rule, but I think this is for the play run OOB with the throw-in guy staying OOB for a while and then coming onto the court in an effort to confuse the defense.
I believe there was a play several teams used to run that would gain a benefit from this player staying OOB, but I don't remember the specifics.
And then maybe I'm just dreaming?
Anyone else remember the play?
Thanks
