Was watching state tourney semis on Friday with a few varsity officials. Three or four minutes left in the game, White leads by ten or so, but Red is pushing for a comeback. White has an AP throw-in. Before White throws the ball in, Red fouls a White player. Everyone went to the other end to shoot the one and one and I noticed that the arrow was incorrectly switched to Red! I waited for a minute to see if the officials noticed, and then I pointed it out to the people I was watching the game with. I was shocked to find that I was the only person who noticed the error. Luckily, White kept their lead and won the game and more importantly, there were no more AP throw-ins for the rest of the game, but if Red had made a comeback and they'd had to go to the arrow, I don't think anyone would've realized that it should've been White's arrow!
