My question is would you give Black the arrow based on what you have seen concerning White's control of the ball (if he had either stepped out of bounds or been guilty of a travel prior to tossing the ball into play)?
If so, then a BC violation would be correct if he stayed in bounds. If not, the official probably got this one right.

If you re-read my statement, you will see that I (accidentally) left out a piece of information. I have added it in blue.
With me not including the blue statement, you don't have enough information to say that I am correct or incorrect.
You originally asked "If the player had touched the sideline before releasing the ball" which I erroneoulsy took to be "If the player had touched the sideline before
touching the ball". My mistake.
Your claim re: setting the arrow is well taken, however.
