I know that. But technically, there's no team control when the try ends, even if it goes in. That's the whole point. There's no team control at the "point of interruption", for lack of a better term. So how do we justify not going to the arrow? We have an inadvertant whistle with no team control. I don't know of any exception in the FED book that says "give it to the team that would have gotten control if the whistle hadn't blown". Is there such an exception?

Chuck, I'm not understanding your point.
Shot attempt. Inadvertant whistle during ball flight. Ball goes through hoop.
I'm thinking if the shot is made and it was counted, the possession must go to the non-shooting team.
If the shot is not made. Then players may well have stopped because of the inadvertant whistle and we therefore don't know who would have gotten the rebound. Now we go to the AP arrow to basically award the rebound.
What is it about this that you feel is wrong?
