Confused In Connecticut ...

Agree that the actual NFHS rule language and the NFHS case plays don't seem to match.
Exactly forty years ago (has it been that long) when the alternating possession arrow was first introduced (before that all held ball situations were actually decided by jump balls at one of three different jump ball circles on the court) the original interpretation of a defensive kick on a throwin was that while the touch was an indeed an illegal touch, it was still nevertheless a touch that ended the throwin, and the arrow would be switched.
Soon after that the NFHS changed the interpretation and I’ve been confused ever since.
