It was actually the scorer for B who brought to my attention at the begining of the next quarter that A hadnt used their arrow.

The onus is on us to make sure the table knows when we are administering a throw-in as a result of a violation or a held ball.

During my brief pre-game conference with the scorer and timer I stress that they are part of the "game crew." I explain that their part in the game is just as important as my other partner on the court. I have a short checklist to quickly review the essentials.

Why do I bring this up in regards to AP procedure? Because I believe this is extremely important at lower levels when Timer and Scorer have been "recruited" in the moments before the game.
