a. He returns to the court prior to the ball being put at the disposal of the thrower.

b. He is still off the floor when the ball become live again.

On the NFHS web site under COMMENTS ON THE 2005-06 RULES REVISIONS, it also stresses that the violation is for "leaving the court during the course of play...". The same COMMENTS also say that the violation should be called as soon as the player leaves the court.

So....according to your interpretation of this rule, and also naturally complying with the FED directive, as soon as the player above stepped OOB we gotta whistle him for a violation.....before that player even starts for the hallway.

You are one great l'il mind reader, aren't you, to know definitively that the player above was leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason?

Please let me know when you're gonna call that, Nevada. I'll book a flight to see that one. Should be entertaining as hell
Don't buy your ticket yet. All I did was comply with your request for an example of a play that meets those three criteria I listed above that I wish the NFHS would clarify.
