Jump Ball to begin game. Ball goes up, White tips is towards the south (the basket they are attempting to score at). Ball bounds at 3 pt arc and is:

A) batted by white out of bounds at the baseline.

B) batted by red out of bounds at the beseline.

C) batted by both teams out of bounds at the baseline.

For each: Your call and possesion arrow direction.
sm_bbcoach,
To understand the concept of the replies, one must know that a bat of the ball doesn't change or establish possession.
Holding or dribbling establishes possession. [see Rule 4-12-1]

I understand that part of it, that is where my questions comes in. If white taps the initial tip; then the 3 situations occur, NO ONE has possesion of the ball. My questions is exactly your reply: No possesion was ever initiated, so are all 3 situations a re-jump reguardless of a batted ball by either/both teams?
What Rocky said.
The reason we don't need the arrow is because, although there was no team possession, one of the teams has in fact violated (ie., caused the ball to be out of bounds), so the ball goes to the other team. We know who gets the next possession.

We use the arrow when we don't know who gets the next possession.
