The rule says exactly nothing about an advantage.

It merely says if you go OOB on your own volition it's a violation.

Or a T is you do so to deceive...whatever *that* means...
Please describe a play that you'd rule as legal (not a T by rule) last year and a violation this year.
I already said I believe the intent of the rule rewording and changes is to simply lower the penalty, so the answer is there is none.

However, if I happen to lose my magic decoder ring I would be very, very confused about what constitutes a violation now under the new wording simply because there are legitimate *basketball* plays where a player goes OOB on his own volition. Like A1 jumping over the table to save the ball from going OOB.
