I say A. Others say B.
I see rule or casebook cause for losing both the OOB and the arrow in a situation when the thrower or one from his team violates when the arrow was previously established. I can't find anything regarding losing both the ball and the arrow due to the jump ball violation in the situation above.
Am I missing something you know I should be aware of?

COMMENTS ON THE 2002-03 RULES REVISIONS
JUMPER CATCHING A TOSS NOT CONSIDERED PLAYER CONTROL (4-12-1): An exception was
added to the definition of control by a player when, during a jump ball, a jumper catches the ball prior to
the ball touching the floor or a non-jumper. By rule, and previously reinforced in a Case Book situation, if
a jumper caught the ball on a jump ball, that player had controlled the ball, but had violated by catching
the tap. The committee felt the penalty of awarding the ball and the arrow to the opponent was too
severe. This change simplifies the rule by only considering the violation by the jumper catching the tap,
resulting in the opposing team receiving the throw-in, and the arrow set toward the team that violated.
