Sure. I get that.

This seems like it should be a (in very technical terms, obviously) you-had-your-chance kind of a situation.

One of the biggest mistakes officials try to make is to justify a rule based on another rule. It just is the way it is. I am sure it is similar to what I stated and what BNR stated. The throw-in does not end by a foul and a foul has other penalties. Just know the difference and apply the rule properly. Not much you can do at this point. Trying to justify the rest is going to confuse you more.

What Jrut said is important. For starters just make sure you know the rules, which it sounds like you're doing a good job of.

Checking out the history of rule changes can also help you understand why some rules may seem weird now. Changing rules can have confusing impacts on officials who only read one years rule book. Example: Team control now on throw-ins.

As a retired middle school science teacher, I'm a big fan of trying to understand the history of a rule to help one to better understand it, but be careful. Sometimes one can be confused by the many changes that take place for some rules. I had a jumper illegally catch the jump ball a few weeks ago and reverted back to the old rule (lose ball and lose arrow) in place when the NFHS first went to the possession arrow. Embarrassing? You bet.

I bet that Edmund Burke never officiated a basketball game.

Right...I know the rule, and have no problem officiating it as such.

You bring up the history of rules changes. I've only been doing high school ball since 2009. Was this a rule change at some point?

I have parts of my officiating uniform older than that.

Team control on a throw-in made the rules a bit confusing.

I remember that one. But that has nothing to do with the rule in question.

I wouldn't say nothing. It made fouls slightly closer to violations. Before fouls counted toward the bonus AND the potential to shoot FTs. Now it's just counted toward the bonus.

I never met the person who wrote the rules so I can't tell you why. I just make sure I enforce it correctly every time.

The rule makers have determined, and most here agree with the logic, that the AP should entitle a team to a complete throw in rather than just an opportunity for a throw in.

I personally think it would be simpler and make more sense to switch the arrow as soon as the ball is at the disposal of the throw in team. To me, the arrow has done its job, and anything that happens during that throw in is the direct result of the AP arrow.

I'm in the minority, though.

Right off hand I can't see how this would be a problem.

Primarily, there's really no reason for the change other than added simplicity. The way it's done now doesn't really create any problems. It's just not how I'd do it.

Hey, I'm agreeing with you. Don't talk me out of it

Never mind.
