Wow this is some good stuff. I think if this occured, team A would get the AP first, provided team B made a successful throw-in.
Here's what I got:
4-12-6
Neither team control nor player control exist during a dead ball, throw-in, a jump ball, or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
4-3-1 Setting Direction of Initial Arrow
A player secures control of the ball, as after the jump ball.
4-3-1 is stating player control. However, during a throw-in, this doesn't exist. Therefore, once there is player control after the throw-in, I would say you would set the arrow in the opposite direction of whoever secured control. So if B is making the throw-in and A steals it, under my thinking team B would get the first AP.
That's probably way too much thinking and probably way, way off. But, that's what I've got.
But, I can see going with Bob on this one and using 2-3. Either coach probably wouldn't say a thing if you gave team B the first AP.
Either way, if this occurred, you can bet I'd blow it dead and take care of it ASAP. Fire away...
