Sorry, I don't have my rule book with me but I think it's somewhere in 10 under Fouls and Penalties, Player Technical. It says something to the effect of, "A player may not deceitfully and/or intentionally delay to return after being out of bounds legally."

For the first time in 10 years, I had a technical foul for a delay to return to the court by the inbounder. The next night (last night) I had it again. Was there a full moon the last 2 nights?

The second call it was during OT (I'm sure Mark is shaking his head right now) in a boys high school rec game. A1 inbounds the ball on the end line, 6 feet to the right of the key. He then slowly jogs from there all the way to the far 3 point line before he gets back inbounds. I hit the whistle and call the technical foul. I don't know if it was a designed play but it looked like they were swinging the ball around to get it to him for a 3 point shot.

When I explained the rule to the coach he said, "You're going to call that NOW???!!?!" I asked him, "Well, what other rules do you want me to set aside since it's over time?" At least he agreed with me that my logic made sense as to why it needed to be called.
