Bob and Snaqs:
My answer was tailored specificially for lmeadski's question: "Team A still received the second half throw in. Correct?"
NFHS and NCAA Men's rules are the same. It is a TF for a player to dunk a dead ball before the start of the game, during the game, and during any intermission. NCAA Women's rules state that it is a TF for a player to dunk a dead ball during the game.
The answers to Imeadski's question are:
NFHS: No. The TF against A1 is, for scorekeeping purposes, is considered to have occured in the third quarter. The third quarter starts with the Team B receiving two free throws and then possession of the ball for a throw-in at the division line extended on the sideline opposite the Scorer's/Timer's Table.
NCAA Men's: Yes. The TF against A1 is, for scorekeeping purposes, is considered to have occured in the second half, but play is resumed by the POI rule, which means that the AP Arrow is used to determine who takes the throw-in to start the second half; the AP Arrow was pointed toward Team A's basket so Team A receives the ball for an AP Throw-in to start the second half.
NCAA Women's: Yes. Since the dunk occured during the halftime intemission no TF has been committed. The AP Arrow was pointed toward Team A's basket so Team A receives the ball for an AP Throw-in to start the second half.
Therefore, if the game officials started the second half using the AP Arrow, they were incorrect in a game played using NFHS Rules and correct in a game using NCAA Men's/Women's Rules.
