I don't want to get into a semantical argument here but verbatim from the Comments on Rule Revisions.
".....the previous rule could possibly reward a defensive team for committing a violation, especially during an alternating-possession throw-in."
The fact that the FED says there was a "previous rule" and that the outcome of this clarification is now handled differently than before suggests a rule change to me.
In any case, whether a rule change or clarification or both the FED rule now matches the NCAA rule, which has been the same for at a minimum of two seasons (I say this because I have checked only the last two).
The consensus (not all) of this board is that by FED rule:
1) AP A
2) AP situation
3) throw in began by A
4) illegal touch by B
5) new throw in completed by A
6) AP remains A
Who here before who has worked NCAA knows what the proper outcome would be under that ruleset?
Does the arrow reverse or not as in part 6 above?
