I'd agree on the OOB call - especially if the press was still on! Had there not been a press I would have been inclined to just verbalize a warning to the players, but there seems to be a definition advantage in being able to confuse the other team (who's throwing the ball in, V1 can just step right back into play, even though it looked like a throw-in to the opposing team). When the press is on, you can't give the offense any lenience/warnings in the backcourt - and in this case you might make this call even without the press on.
EDIT: after visualizing this in my mind, I think you'd be right to call this at all times, press or not. It's a lack of communication between teammates - it's much different from just a foot just barely over the OOB line on a throw-in or accidentally displacing the ball after a made basket.
