(I wasn't there, so I don't know how many times the officials had to tell the player...or how long it took the player to go back to the line.)

How about following the specified ruling?

DELAY BY FREE THROWER
10.3.6 SITUATION: The calling official has reported the foul and has given directions to players along the lane. The official is ready to put the ball at free thrower A1's disposal, but A1 is at the sideline talking to the coach. RULING: A technical foul for delay is charged to A1. No warning is authorized in this situation. (10-3-6c)
