Once a player on the endline moves, I don't let them move back. I don't know where I picked up this mechanic but I've always used it to avoid the "cat and mouse" situation.

Why would you not let them move? If they want to move let them move.

Again there must be an NBA rule or circumstance that is at play here we know little about.
