I was wondering when someone was going to say this.

9-3-3: A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason.

Here's a technical foul reference that won't work:

10-3-2: A player shall not: Purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds.

This will work:

10-3-5: A player shall not: Delay the game by acts such as:
a. Preventing the ball from being made live promptly or from being put inplay.
c. The free thrower fails to be in the free-throw semicircle when the official is ready to administer the free throw unless the resumption-of-play procedure is in effect following a time-out or intermission.

So will this:

10-3-6: A player shall not:
h. Removing the jersey and/or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing area.
i. Leave the playing court for an unauthorized reason to demonstrate resentment, disgust or intimidation.

Pick your poison.

So the best answer is two technicals to the player if necessary for ejection, foul shots by the sub with the lanes cleared, then 4 free throws by the other team with the lanes cleared and then ball at mid court. Sound about right?

Two technicals are not necessary for ejection.

And ejection is not necessary for the situation.

Just charge the kid with a flagrant T which would cause an automatic ejection and you won't have to worry about whether he should be forced to shoot his free throws.

Not how I would handle it. One T max if you must but I don't even like a T here.

AAAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddddddddddd ...... I almost had this very situation happen in a game last night.

Rec league, 14U. Team A has 5 players total, Team B has 6.

A22 is a pretty decent player (well, relative to the other kids on the court). Yet he's constantly frustrated because he's missing shots. Several times he'd miss a layup, B would get the rebound, and A22 would just stand in the offensive zone and sulk without making any attempt to get back on defense.

Finally, in the 2nd half, he missed a layup, said (loud enough for me to hear as the L) "That's it, I'm done", and started walking off the court while B was transitioning to their basket. As soon as I see this, the alarm bells go off in my head and this thread immediately springs to mind. Which then puts me in the "am I gonna have to T up this kid?" mode.

Luckily (for me), B missed a quick layup attempt, A got the rebound, and A's coach called a timeout before the kid made it off the court. A's coach then spent the timeout convincing A22 to stay in the game, which he did until he fouled out 4 minutes later.
