This rule says...
A player shall not purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds. Has anyone called this technical before? What happened? Saw a couple plays (really the same thing a couple different times) and wondering if it would fall under this rule. |
Yes. I had a player run all the way out of bounds after they made a throw-in. BTW, the player, in that case, was warned several times and did it anyway the way I recall it. The only time it needed to be called. Usually, I just tell the player, "Get on the court" and they do.

Sincerely hope you refrain from making that call the rest of your career. BTW, welcome to the forum. You will benefit greatly from current threads and the more than 10 years of archives. |

Lots of sharp cookies here. Agree, this sitch does require a solid understanding of advantage gained. That was a major point when this action changed from violation to a T several years back. |

You tell the player to "come inbounds, come inbounds, come inbounds," they usually do, and you have nothing. If the player ignores that plea, delays returning and the play "works," you call the T. I've done it ... maybe twice in my career. I've also called it just a violation, (which is not the rule, of course), maybe twice as well, and when the player or coach bitches, I explain, "It's actually a technical, so you're welcome." Making the call is rare, but the scenario and play are not rare at all. |
An Example
Purposeful Delay in Returning to the Court
Saw something more purposeful observing several middle school games a couple of years ago. A1 throw-in to A2. Coach A yells, "Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet." A1 stands OOB as directed. Finally, as all the defenders migrate toward the player with the ball now at the top of the key, he yells, "Now!" A1 steps inbounds, alone and unguarded, for an easy pass from A2 and an easy, unchallenged score. Lack of knowledge of the rule led to no call being made each time I saw it. Maybe three times in three different games. |
Violation ???

An inbounder (actually any player legally out of bounds) purposely staying out of bounds to deceive the opponent team is a technical foul. A player shall not: Purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds. A player on the court gaining an advantage by moving out of bounds is a violation. A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason. |
