But the intent of the rule is not about someone quitting the team. If the player leaves and never comes back all you are going to do is compound the issue. I do not think leaving the court for an unauthorized reason is a good call here. And if a player says he is leaving the floor and quitting the team, I think it is the common sense thing to do is move on. Now maybe the T comes already because you do not know if the player is quitting the team at the time, but I am certainly not going to T them for leaving.
