Why did the player run off the court? He just lost track of his position? His momentum while on defense carried him off? He was trying to confuse the defense (not likely if he was only off the court for 6-8 feet)? He was going around a defender?
The official must judge this, and then determine the correct ruling (legal, violation, T) under the appropriate rules set (FED, NCAA, FIBA, NBA, other).
Also, your original post said that the player was off the court "for seconds". It doesn't even take a second to run 8' while going back on offense.
