TH and Bart are right on the money. I don't know why, but I just assumed that the original poster was asking about a question about the arrow. Wow. Big assumption.

So, new assumption. Assume it's NOT an AP throw-in. Then in a HS game, the answer to the original question is yes. Possession is part of the penalty for a technical foul. If Team A has the ball for a throw-in and A2 receives a T, then Team B will get 2 shots and the ball; so Team A obviously "loses the throw-in" too.

In college, the answer is no (usually). Team B would shoot 2 free throws, but then the game would resume with Team A's throw-in. (There are exceptions for intentional or flagrant T's and in women's ball there is an exception for calling an excessive TO.)

I hope I've redeemed myself. (RevRef, that was a metaphorical comment, not a theological one )
