Howie,
You unfortunately went by the old rule. The new ruling is as follows:
PLAYER OUT OF BOUNDS – LEAVING THE COURT
9.3.2 SITUATION A: A1 receives a pass while in the restricted area of the lane. A1 passes the ball to A2 outside the three-point line. In order to get the three-second count stopped, A1 steps directly out of bounds under A's basket. RULING: A1 is charged with a violation for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason. (9-7)
As Hawkeye mentioned the penalty was a technical foul back in the 2004-05 season and prior.
