...the same time following a time-out or intermission.Art. 7. (Men) Failure to have all players return to the playing court at approximately the same time following a timeout or intermission.

NFHS: Team Technical
NCAA Men: Same as NFHS (Administrative Technical)
NCAA Women: In Appendix V it states for Women that they have "No Rule".

• Do they have to check in with the table or can they run back on the court? They are still a player so they shouldn't have to check in correct?
  
• What if they gain an advantage from it but it was not deceitful?
• If officials called a Technical is there anything justifying it in this case?

10.1.9 SITUATION: Following a charged time-out Team B is still with their
coach on the sideline when the official sounds the whistle to indicate play will
resume. Four players of B return to the court just in time to play defense as A1
attempts an unsuccessful three-pointer. B1 rebounds and throws a long pass to
B5 who enters the court just in time to catch the pass. RULING: A technical foul
is immed iately charged to Team B for failing to have all players return to the court
at approximately the same time following a time-out or intermission. While it is
true the entire team may be off the court while the procedure is being used, once
a team responds, all players must enter the court at approximately the same time.

10.3.2 SITUATION B: After a lengthy substitution process involving multiple
substitutions for both Team A and Team B, A5 goes to the bench and remains
there, mistakenly believing he/she has been replaced. The ball is put in play even
though Team A has only four players on the court. Team A is bringing the ball into
A’s frontcourt when the coach of Team A realizes they have only four players. The
coach yells for A5 to return and he/she sprints directly onto the court and catches
up with the play. RULING: No technical foul is charged to A5. A5’s return to
the court was not deceitful, nor did it provide A5 an unfair positioning advantage
on the court.

Thanks Billy!

Do any of the Women's College officials out there know of something Mary S. put out regarding this situation or anything in prior years on how this is specifically supposed to be handled?
