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?

The play that you're talking about has been in the casebook for many years. It was 10.3.3SitB last year, and they changed the number to 10.3.3SitA this year- but the plays are still identical.
