It's actually really simple. Just ask yourself, "What would've happened if the whistle had not blown?" If you answer that you don't know, then go to the arrow. Otherwise, just do what you were going to do next anyway.

Scrapper:

Look how many different situations we would eliminate from the rules if we just went to a jump ball; we would not have so many rules in the book that cause such stupid rulings.
