That is the way I understood it.

However, this raises the problem with calling it an inadvertant whistle. From the way I understand the rules, this means you have to go to the arrow and give the ball to the team entitled to it under the AP procedure. Now, common sense says - IW, one team in possession clearly, give it back to them. Rules say IW, give it to the team entitled to by the arrow.

I don't think there are too many refs who will follow this rule, but what is everyone's take on it?
