Okay, let me try it this way. In the beginning of the game before the AP arrow is set we jump the ball. Beep, before the toss we got a violation. Team A receives possesion of the ball. Once the ball becomes live, the arrow is pointed to Team B. Now, let's say for argument sake that before the ball became live, we had a kick ball violation on Team B. AP arrow not set. Who gets the arrow now? Still, team B because A gets the ball from the violation of the jump.
Officials have argued that what you call (foul) in the beginning of the game, you call it the same in the end. Well, that is not the case here. To start the game, we set the arrow but we don't do that in the middle or the end of the game. We wait until something after the fact happens. That is not the original intent of the AP arrow, imho.
