BUT the succeding KO after the 2nd quarter is the start of the 3rd quarter, which is what the rule clearly states.
But, then again you can't end a half on an accepted live-ball player foul so I'm guessing that's why you can't carry over from the 2nd to the 3rd. It would have made it more clear if they put that under 8-2 to drive the point home.

Another item that may factor in is that you have no way of knowing if the team that scored will in fact be kicking off to start the second half.
