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?
AP arrow only applies if there is no team control. If there is player and/or team control (including an interrupted dribble) the ball goes back to the offense. If IW occurs during the flight of a shot and basket is made then IW is ignored, if shot is missed you go to the AP arrow.

BTW, there was an IW in one of Tennessee's games this past weekend where an official anticipated a traveling call on Lofton.
