Any violation for NOT returning inbounds soon after throw?

Coach may have had a point. I don't have my book in front of me, but when a thrower purposely delays returning inbounds in order to deceive, it's a Technical Foul on the player.
Conversely, when a thrower is not involved and you have players going OOB for unauthorized reasons, it's a violation.
Interestingly for the sake of
NFHS trivia and/or future exam questions, this along with the excessively swinging elbows violation are the two violations
(when committed by opponents of the shooter) that do not cause the ball to become dead when a try is in flight. Usually it's a foul that activates this exception, but there are two violations that do as well.
