I haven't called a T, but this winter I called a violation for a player cutting underneath the basket and going OOB and then coming back in bounds twice during an observed scrimmage (3 courts with a trainer/senior official observing crews of two). The offending team's coach said something to the court observer and the observer told me not to call a violation unless the player catches the ball upon returning in bounds.
