I think the only way to tell if the act was to purposely &/or deceitfully delay return is to let the player receive the return pass... then whack 'em. if they delay return but don't get the ball back, do we really need that game interupter??
It's tough to call a technical or in your case of judgement a violation for something you said was "probable".

Your point isn't bad, but I think there are many times an official could judge whether the delay was purposeful as part of a play even if he didn't receive the ball.
