For your backcourt, closely guarded, and inbounding counts, instead of counting "1-1,000 2-1,000 3-1,000" count "1-red arrow, 2-red arrow, 3-red arrow". Use it for every time you count, and you'll know the possession arrow on nearly every trip down the court.
I have never mastered this. I keep trying, though. But in the meantime, I've been trying to watch the arrow as the AP throw-in is being completed, to be sure it gets switched. Then it doesm't matter how long it is till the next AP, I trust the arrow. Also, if the table's got it right every time, the administration is so much easier. No arguing about why the table says white when I know for sure it's black.
