Hmmm,

In 40 years of watching, coaching and officiating basketball I have NEVER seen a technical foul called for a player illegally leaving the court.

I have read this entire thread and decided this logic would be forced to used in all games:

If a technical foul is called for the player leaving the court to avoid a screen then all officials would need to call technicals on players that say, try to save an errant pass and jump into the crowd.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

It would certainly appear to be OOO to call a technical for a player avoiding contact by leaving the floor as described.

Please set me straight.
