Explain how illegally touching the ball is good defense. No one is arguing that team A should be able to complete a throwin to their team....just that team B can't cause team A to lose the arrow by by a violation....that is the ENTIRE purpose of the rule change.

By saying the AP is not complete until a successful throw in, is wrong and at the heart of the argument.
...
First, the AP grants you possession. It does not or should not guarantee you a successful throw-in. If there’s a violation of the throw-in, you don’t lose the ball anyway. You are now on to something else, like another spot throw-in. AP is now done.
Again, it's not to guarantee success, just to guarantee that the defense can only stop it through legal means.

No. Team A loses the arrow anytime they violation during the AP throwin...yet another rule you don't know.

Except that is not the rule...the AP hasn't done it's job until A gets the inbounds without a violation.

Which happens first, the violation (kick) or the ball obtaining inbounds status? They happen at the same time. The rule effectively says to consider the violation as happening first.

That's too much big brother.
But the arrows is set when a player legally catches the ball after the jump.

Again, the rule doesn't guarantee you get it inbounds to your team...just that the defense can only cause the AP to end by legally touching the ball (even catching it)....not by kicking it.
