NCAA rule
Under NCAA rules it possibly could be an indirect technical under Rule 10 Section 4 Art. 16: Deceptively leaving the playing court for an unauthorized reason and returning at a more advantageous position.
A.R. 7. A player steps out of bounds to avoid contact. RULING: This shall not be called an indirect technical foul unless the player leaves the playing court to deceive or gain a more advantageous position in some way. When the player is a dribbler, the ball shall be ruled out of bounds. When the player returns to the playing floor and is the first to touch the ball, a violation has occurred since he/she left the playing court under their own volition.
But I'll leave interpretation of that rule for one of our more seasoned college officals to weigh in on.
I don't have a NFHS rulebook with me but try to find a reference concerning Leaving the court for an unauthorized reason.
