(per 10-3-5d)? Which says a player shall not delay the game by acts such as repeated violations of the throw-in, as in 9-2-10.

My take is that the player T is for acts that are truly and intentionally delaying the game, rather than simply violating again while playing the game (even if poorly). The only time I'm going to T the player is if I judge he's attempting to make a mockery of the game or something similar.

Forget the boundary plane for now, how about interfering with the ball after a basket, like intentionally throwing it fourteen rows up into the bleachers?

That's a T in my book. I was simply making the point that a player who twice violates the throw-in boundary shouldn't (necessarily) be charged with a player technical.
