Running out of bounds and back in

Do you take off your hat and leave it on the court where the player went out like in football?

You will see this happen... Usually happens when offense is running a baseline cutter off a screen at the block. Sometimes the defender will hedge low and so the offensive player will just run out of bounds to avoid the help defender.

I tell the player not to do it again during the first dead ball and that has always worked for me.
