Player must enter the court directly. They cannot hang out of bounds or run around out of bounds to create an advantage.
Without seeing it who knows what the officials judged the action to be, but he/she does have support to call a T. It is not called very common, but I have seen it called.
It is also not about running a play, it is about the execution.
Peace
