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...

here's some support from fiba rules:
4.2.2 Five (5) players from each team shall be
on the playing court during playing time and may be substituted.
23.1.1 A player is out-of-bounds when any part of his body is in contact with the floor or any object other than a player, on, above or outside the boundary line.
