Player leaves court-how tight do you call it?

[mplagrow]

I'm trail. Point guard passes to a player along the sideline, then runs around behind the player. Problem is, she runs fully out of bounds and comes back in front of the player she passed to. Would you apply the player technical for leaving the court? I can sure see it when a team is running a play or someone is trying to go around a screen, but this was just awkward. Any thoughts?
