This is a definite violation in the situation you're talking about. The offensive player was attempting to gain an advantage by leaving the court. You could simply explain to the coach that this violation used to be penalized by a technical foul, but recently was changed to a violation. It is clearly against the rules.

PS1. The NBA and NCAA have different rules for leaving the court. Watching them is of no use in this (or many other) situations if you officiate by NFHS rules.

PS2. The penalty is the same, and the offense would get the ball for a throw-in at the point of the violation.

There have been several threads here about this violation, and the way others penalize it - some use ad/disadvantage on this violation, others are more "by the book", but general consensus is that it definitely needs to be called in the situation you described.
