Why do I have in my mind that it's a Technical Foul???

Was it once a Tech. then changed to a Violation
It's still a T.The key word is "purposely".The language says "leave the court for an unauthorized reason". Rule reference is R10-3-4. What they're arguing here is "What came first?The chicken or the egg?"-ie the violation or the T.
