Allow me to change one word to what I really meant to write. Then, read the entire post Juules, not just one statement that you took out of context.
"Your posts don't indicate that you're trying to understand the rule. Every time someone presents a point, you're arguing that's not a good reason. The rule is what it is. WE don't need to understand why it's written as it is to enforce it. Simply understand that the arrow doesn't change if a foul occurs prior to the throw-in ending. Otherwise it changes. That's all you need to remember."
Every time someone offers a reason for the rule, he's arguing the point. He's not looking to understand it IMHO. There are hundreds of rules that we don't know the reason for. Why isn't a player allowed to lift the pivot before dribbling? Why doesn't the basket count on a PC foul? I don't know the "whys" of either, nor do I need to to make the call. Do you?
