Unfair to who?
And how did a 6'7" guy let a 5'10" guy get near the ball?
In all seriousness, if "being fair" was the ultimate goal, a coin toss would be used. The outcome is 50%. Always.
A jump ball with a tall player should win the toss > 50% of the time.
I think the main reason we use the arrow is that it is quicker to administer. It would have made my game so much more exciting. I think that B stealing an inbounds pass is << the odds of each team obtaining a jumped ball.
