So isn't that would you would do in a situation that WASN'T after a T.O. or intermission? What makes resumption of play special?

I think the difference is the escalation of the penalty to technical foul. In instances other then after timeouts and intermissions, there is no provision for an automatic technical foul for failing to be ready to put the ball in play on the second failure to be ready.
I suppose I can imagine assessing a team technical foul as in 10-5-b if it occurs often or is obviously intentional.
