Player left court legally and, after gaining control of his momentum, immediately took an angled course back towards the court. I've read nothing that requires tha course to be a 90 degree angle to the boundary line.

Camron,
I don't think that you will find 90 degrees but, you have read that the player must return immediately. And, you have read that "a tremendous advantage is gained by allowing a team or player more space than allowed". That really is the crux of this discussion. The way you described the play, the player returned immediately? Could you ever imagine or visualize a player's momentum carrying him 15 ft.? How about 10 ft.? Several principles expect a player without the ball to adjust a path in "no more than 2 strides".
