I still struggle with the kicked ball alternating possession throwin scenario.
About twenty years go it was considered an inbound touch, an illegal touch, but nevertheless an inbound touch, ending the throwin, and the alternating possession arrow was reversed.
For the past twenty years the interpretation has been the opposite (illegal inbound touch, throwin didn't end, don't switch the alternating possession arrow).
I see this more on exams than I do in real games (only once in twenty years).
For grizzled veterans, the rules are easy, it's the rule changes that are difficult, especially the 180 degree changes, some on very rare plays.
