I meant misread as it wouldn't be a violation.
POI is the correct way to resume the game in either case. Please understand that if there isn't team control and the throw-in has ended, then using the arrow is the POI.

Why is the POI rule so difficult for people? It's just a three step checklist.
1. Is there team control? Yes = award a throw-in to that team. No = go to step 2.
2. Did the stoppage occur during a FT or throw-in or when one is pending?
Yes = resume play with that FT or throw-in. No = go to step 3.
3. USE THE AP ARROW.
