Granted, it's rare, but I've always hated to see a team get the arrow with so little time that the opportunity to score is basically lost. I've always wondered if there should be a rule that allows a team to defer their arrow to the opposition, letting that team get the next one.
No team control so why not just line everyone up on FT line closest to where the ball was when you had the IW, and throw the ball off the backboard and let them play on from there. Start the clock when ball hits backboard. That seems the most fair.
