I agree with the officials who say the coin in the pocket, etc. looks stupid, but if you're just starting out and doing middle school games, that might not be so bad. It's a lot worse if a game is decided based on an incorrect arrow.
At a middle school game, you probably don't have an experienced scorer. Get in the habit of instructing the scorer before the game to keep track of the arrow in the book. Follow up at the end of the quarter.
Over time, as you get more confident in you officiating abilities, you'll be able to keep track in your head of the AP situations. And if you have definite knowledge of the correct direction of the arrow, that controls.
