"Would you call a "T" for a player leaving the court illegally when attempting to get around a screen?"
I really need to know . . . again, history DOES NOT make this a normal practice.

Tim C,
In real life, and a real game, I would say, : "Don't do that anymore!", but I would not repeat the statement.
As you know, regardless of the game, the higher the level, the less we have to use the strange rules.
The highest level that I've seen it called is Boy's HS Varsity. The violation was by a freshman point-guard who went out-of-bounds at the Free throw the lane on one side of the floor, continued running until he got on the other side of the lane outside the arc to receive a pass.
The kid got whacked and learned a rule.
Had the Kid not received the pass for the "3", the whole deal may have been overlooked.
