I guess I could buy yourarguments if it was called the "alternating throw-in" procedure, but it's not...you would be taking away a possession that team is entitled to because the other team commits a foul - that's not right...might as well say that when A1 is dribbling the ball and B1 fouls him/her but it's not the bonus, we're gonna give B the ball oob because A had their possession and to call a foul on B and give A the ball back would be penalizing B twice...doesn't make sense in either situation...
Ah, but the award on an AP is the throwin, not the right to possession on the court. We don't let them keep the arrow if B2 steals the ball, or if A3 steps out of bounds. If we want their reward to be a "possession" then we should just go to playground rules just check the ball in at the top of the key.
I'm not taking anyone from anyone. That foul doesn't happen without the throwin. Let me put it this way.
On an OOB violation, the reward for the other team is a throwin at the spot. Yet, for a held ball, the reward is a "possession," according to your thoughts above. Why is the reward greater when there was technically no violation to begin with?
I will answer your scenario after you answer mine - since mine came first!!
