Even if you called the violation for leaving the floor, you're not taking the free throw away from the other team.
I'd do what I've always done: try to tell the kid to stay on the floor, but not go plumbing if he sits down anyway.
If it's the 2nd quarter, and the kid gets his third foul and proceeds to tuck his tail between his legs and head for the bench I'd have a hard time considering this unsporting.
