The RULES BOOK does not say, nor has it in the past said, that returning to the floor during playing action is a player technical foul.
[/B][/QUOTE]Say what?
From 2004/05 Rule Book:
Rule 10-3-3- "
A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason or
delay returning after legally being out of bounds".
From 2005/06 Rule book:
Rule 9-3-2- "
A player shall not leave the floor for an unauthorized reason".
Rule 10-3-3- "
A player shall not delay returning after legally being out of bounds".
The wording in R10-3-3 about it being a "T" for "delay return after legally being out of bounds" has been in for many, many years. If the player is
illegally OOB, it's an immediate violation under new 9-3-2 now.
I'm confused as to what point you're trying to make on this one, Nevada. Nothing's changed on this one except for the penalty on
part of the old rule.
