I agree with BadNewsRef in that the throw-in should be resumed by the alternating possession arrow. Part c of the same rule that JR quoted (4-36-2c) says, "An alternating-possession throw-in when the point of interruption is such that neither team is in control and no goal, infraction, nor end of quarter/extra period is involved."

When I read that rule I am led to believe that the play does not involve an infraction because to me that's either a violation or a foul and not an inadvertent whistle.

Thoughts?!?
Realistically, you'd deliberately give the ball to the wrong team for a throw-in? Oh my......

Thoughts?

How can you say the above when R4-36-1 says "method of resuming play due to an official's accidental whistle"? The "accidental whistle" occured DURING a throw-in. You've got a very definitive ruling to use right out of the rule book in R4-36-2(b), and you want to say it's not applicable.

Lah me.....
