I can't find any support for this decision either way in the FIBA rulebook either. The rational was we don't know what the result would have been if the ball had not been caught, it may have gone OB or been intercepted, or may even have been an assist for an easy layup. No way of knowing for sure so therefore, like when your not sure who knocked the ball out of bounds (ie. 2 players from opposite teams tip the ball at the same time) go to the arrow.
