Question: when does the AP arrow get switched? I'd like a rule reference.

I've been told conflicting things by different (respected) officials.
One was that it's a normal AP throw in and the arrow gets switched when the throw in ends like normal.
I was also told that the arrow gets switched immediately after B1 has the ball in his/her hands. The reason being that this is the initial starting of team possession so switch the arrow to A's basket before the ball is thrown in. Rule 4-3 Art. 3b?! What are free throws for a non-common foul in this situation?

Any help would be appreciated.
You started the game with 2 technical free throws. Those are FTs for a "non common foul." You have the right rule section. When you hand the ball to team B for the throw in the arrow is set for the first time towards team A.
