I don't want to be picky, but this actually happened to me once.
As stated in the original post, if a "live ball lodges" (6-3-3-d), you go to the arrow. But if on a throw-in, the thrower causes the ball to lodge, it is a violation and goes to the defense (9-2-8).
For some reason - probably because of all the kibitzing with other officials like on this board - I knew this and called it correctly. Of course no one else agreed with me and they let me know it - loudly.
