violation or not?

There was also a rule (and I think it still applies) that a player may not leave the confines of the court to gain an advantage. This was mainly aimed at avoiding screens and escaping 3 second violations, but I would think that it couls apply to this case as well.

Keep in mind that I am talking FIBA rules here.

What you are talking about is a Technical foul in our book. We don't want to call that. Violation or nothing. I don't think that either call would be argued assuming that the the OOB was not on the table side of the court.
