The main reason a team doesn't lose the arrow on a foul during a AP throw-in it is a huge advantage to the defensive team to foul during a AP throw-in to get the arrow switched.
Then what's the logic behind the arrow not changing if the offensive team fouls prior to the ball being inbounded? Is committing a violation more serious and should be punished more strict than committing a foul? Or is this one of those things that don't make sense but they're in the rule book anyway?
