Different situations completely, Camron.

The violation now is for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason.That used to be a T.

The technical foul was and is for delaying your return after legally being OOB.

If you take a look at last years R10-3-3, they took the "leaving the court for an unauthorized reason" part out of the rule and made it a violation, but they left the "delay returning after being OOB legally" part in R10-3-3 unchanged as a T.

Iow, they separated the 2 different situations in last year's R10-3-3, moved one of them to R9-3-2 and changed the penalty to a violation--and left the other part in the altered new R10-3-3 as a T.
