Casebook play 6.4.1SitE(c): During the jump ball to start the game,after the ball is tossed A1 intentionally fouls B1. When is the possession arrow set?
RULING: The arrow is pointed in the direction of A's basket when a player of B has the ball or it is at the thrower's disposal for the throw-in following the free throws.

Larry, you might reason that the arrow is set when it is because that's the first moment that control is established - the free thrower is has player control holding a live ball inbounds, and thus there is team control . . .

And what, may I ask, does the free thrower having player control have to do with this case? The arrow is not set when the free thrower has the ball and may not even be set towards A at all. It is set on the throwin that follows the FT(s). If there is another rules infraction before the throwin to start the game (or overtime), that infraction will determine the arrow. For example, B2 fouls A2 while B1 is shooting the FT. A will get the gall OOB for the foul against B and B will get the arrow.
