If a team isn't aware that having a thrower remain out of bounds is illegal are you going to fail to penalize them?
What about if a team has screeners lock arms while setting a double screen?
Sorry, but it is the responsibility of the coach and team to know the playing rules.

Apples and oranges. The T you propose is for doing something
unsporting. That has a certain mental element to it, unlike each of your elements.
Don't be the "gotcha" referee. Do your job and don't let him get there -- tell him to stop. If he doesn't stop, well,
then he has done something unsporting.
