How Tony explained everything is correct.
I just wish to highlight that Ref Daddy should have been writing PO
E instead of PO
I. Tony wrote above what POI means (a different new rule this season), POE means Points of Emphasis.
Every year the NFHS picks a few things that officials, coaches, ADs, need to stress for the betterment of the high school game. These items are called the POEs.
As was already noted the leaving the floor violation is actually a rule change for this season not a POE.
Leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason was a POE LAST SEASON when it was a technical foul. Apparently, it still wasn't called enough to satisfy the the NFHS people, so they changed the penalty to a violation this season.
