The case play that has been cited ad nauseum. In particular, the final piece of it, "...nor did it provide A5 an unfair positioning advantage on the court."

Good point. If there is an unfair advantage, under which rule does one charge the technical foul, 10-3-2, or 10-3-6 (as posted by just another ref)? I don't have my books here at work.

10-3-6 is general and can be used for just about anything. (unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play)

10-3-2 is specific to this situation.


Either one would fit.

I don't think 10-3-2 is specific as this rule says "Purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds." There was no deceit or willful remaining out of bounds. He just thought he was supposed to be on the bench. Although 10.3.2 ironically enough gives our scenario and a T is charged for gaining an advantage. And yes we can close this thread.
