I have heard that leaving the playing court to avoid a defensive player in FIBA is a warning or a T, but I have never seen this rule in the book. Nor have I ever had it mentioned to me during any referee training, so, is this a rule? If so what is the penalty for it, or should we call this at all?
I personally only have one instance in wich I was really close to warning a player, that was when he run outside the baseline to avoid a defender in the key, I didn't though becuse I felt I couldn't support it. I don't like to call this and then explain for the coach that "no it's not in the book but I've heard it is in the case book in a case I havn't seen".
Well I didn't call it...

There used to be this rule. But apparently they forgot to carry it over during some rule revision.
