Would like to see this specific case excluded personally...

I'd just like to see more people concentrate on something that really matters. Too many people (coaches, fans, officials) go nuts over who has the arrow when it really evens out. No matter what, someone gets the last AP throw in, and there is no way to predict when the last one will be.
Granted, we have to get it right, but I'm not going to worry about it if Team A gets 6 "arrows" to B's 5, when it should have been 5 for A and 6 for B. Out of what, 50 or more total posessions a game?
Hey, it's better than an old fashioned jump ball, anyhow.
