To be fair, Rut didn't say it had to be a violation by the throw-in team. The defensive team could commit a violation (breaking the throw-in plane), but the arrow would not switch. I think the point was that a violation or foul does not necessarily cause a change of arrow. Only a throw-in violation causes a change in the arrow.

On a related note, I timed a varsity girls' game tonight, and there were about 20 jump balls called. One official, however, used one hand up to stop the clock, then used the two thumbs signal. Anyone else seen this?

Never. Sounds ugly. Just go with the thumbs up.
