(Agree that you can't have a held ball after the buzzer.)

The OP also says that at the time of the "held ball" the arrow was in favor of A.
But this is all pretty simple:
*If the arrow was properly in the directon of A at the time of the "held ball" that ended Q3, then an error was made.
(But, especailly if it was an MS game, it would hardly be surprising if the table was simply wrong and the arrow was supposed to be for B already.)
