There was an answer by Fred Horgan:

Question: A player goes out of bounds in order to avoid a screen, a 3 second violation or, more generally, to take an advantage.

There's no mention of this in the present rule book, but there used to be.

What's the correct procedure? What rules can support the official's decisions?

Answer: Depending of the circumstances, a technical foul could be called. However, the FIBA philosophy is that a warning should be given before calling a technical on a repetition of that infraction. This warning applies to all players of both teams and is therefore delivered to the coaches as well.
