To me, far too much attention is being placed on the completion when, imo, once the team is granted the arrow, then it should switch. Otherwise, enter the word scholar bullsh!t. Now you're saying the throw-in didn't complete so the arrow don't chance. That's BS. The AP has or should have nothing to do with the throw-in. It grants possession, that's it!
I guess I'm the only one out here who actually cares about the game. You are only concerned about the rules and that's too bad.

The game is defined by the rules. You could also believe that instead of shooting into a basket, the players should be kicking into goal nets. But then it wouldn't be basketball anymore.
By the same token, keep changing the rules, and the game won't be the same anymore. The "word scholar" bs as you call it, is our efforts to care about the game by carefully keeping the rules consistent. When YOU decide to do things YOUR way, it's YOU that aren't caring about the game. The game IS the rules.
