One example.

I doubt teams really strategize whether or not to foul based on how it affects the arrow: but again, in my view, the arrow would still have done its job by giving A the throw in that B used to foul. If B is going to foul here, I doubt they're being deterred by the fact that the arrow isn't going to change if they do. Hell, I doubt they even realize that's the case now.
