I read case play 4.42.5 COMMENT: The kicking violation ends the alternating-possession throw-in and as a result, a non-alternating-possession throw-in is administered. When the ball is legally touched on the subsequent throw-in following the kicking violation, the arrow is not changed and shall remain with Team A.
Are there any exceptions because it is the start of a period?
Thank you in advance to all.

No exception due to the throw-in being at the beginning of the quarter. However, the NFHS uses poor language in that comment. The kicking violation does NOT END the throw-in by rule as it is not a legal touch. If the throw-in had ended the arrow would reverse, but we know that it does not in this case.
Additionally, the NFHS issued “a clarification” this season, which is really a rule change, stating that a throw-in boundary plane violation by Team B (the defense) during an AP throw-in does not result in a subsequent non-AP throw-in, but rather simply another AP throw-in for Team B. This is inconsistent with the rule and all of the other instances of defensive violations during an AP throw-in. Very poor from the NFHS.
