Reached out to a ref friend of mine.  I wish I could have found a video of it to share, but I think he got what I was saying.  Here was his response:

[I]Based on what they called it sounds as if they felt even though he passed the ball, the player after passing the ball left the court on purpose to gain an advantage, came back on court in a better position to receive the pass back. So if that is the case they would be correct . It’s a weird one. I’ve never seen it called or called it. It’s a violation to leave the court for an unauthorized reason. The big issue is the advantage. Good example would be A1 receives a pass in the restricted area of the lane. A1 passes to A2 outside the 3 point line. In order to get the 3 second count stopped A1 steps directly out of bounds under A’s basket.[/I]

I have a hard time rationalizing KR passed the ball to improve his position, so that's where I think the refs got the call wrong.

I read on another site where a ref called it once because a guy pretended to come out of the game, went and sat on the bench, and then came back onto the court to lead a fast break (the ultimate rope-a-dope cherry pick).  But that was a college intramural game.
