Going OOB

At a game Tuesday night, A1 supposedly stepped OOB under the basket to go around a defender and come back in (if he did, I didn't see it, but let's assume A1 did illegally go OOB.)

B's coach starts screaming "He went OOB, that's a violation!!"

I always thought this was a technical foul (10-3-4), but talking to the R at halftime, he also said it was a violation. I don't see anything in rule 9 regarding OOB other than the ball.

Who was right? Did I have a brain fart, or did the coach and ref 'agree' on the 'wrong' call?

Someone tell me the hell this is a violation??? I have NEVER seen anyone call a T on this situation either. I may talk to the players, but unless it's blatant, flagrant, and on purpose, I'll never T an offensive OR defensive guy for this.
