By the NFHS rules, any player leaving the court and returning to gain an advantage is given a T.
Since most people don't know the consequences of leaving the court to gain an advantage (this includes players and coaches and fans), you have a choice to make: follow the rules exactly (call a T) or call a violation and warn the team.
IMHO, the T is too harsh and the first violation of this rule should be a violation and a team warning. Subsequent acts by the same team should be T'd. I know, some people out there feel that the rules should be followed exactly, but I could never see myself calling a T in this situation (especially in a tight game going down to the wire).
Cheers!
