Obviously the officials shouldn't have to chase the ball all over the gym, but a few seem to take it to the extreme then indirectly threaten some penalty if the girls don't run it down for them every time.

Somewhere in one of the books, the referee talks to game administration (or table) about ball chasers. I couldn't find it.
If I recall correctly, there is no penalty.
