If so....wow.

I believe it is my understanding that the new change is meant to switch the arrow on all touches. Will have to wait for our rules meeting to confirm what the natives have interpreted this as.

Maybe some day they'll go all the way to the way I want to see it.

Arrow switches when given to player who is throwing the ball in?

That would be my preference, or "at the disposal." Basically once the 5 second throw in count starts.

But I recognize I'm in the minority.

Whoa there. Uh-oh. Wait a second. That's not correct. Rule 6-5-4: "The direction of the AP arrow is reversed immediately after an AP throw-in ends. An AP throw-in ends when the throw-in ends as in 4-42-5."

The scoreboard operator switches the arrow when you hand the ball to the thrower-inner bad things can happen.

He knows that. He's saying he preferred the rule said the arrow is switched when it is at the disposal. He isn't implying that's what it says now.

Right?

Bad things can happen when an over-eager arrow-operator switches the AP arrow prior to the end of the AP throw-in.

We both understand the rule as it is currently written. Adam is saying he wished the rule would be rewritten to state that the arrow would change when it is at the disposal of the thrower in. Neither one of us are saying that is what it states now. Actually, changing it to the way Adam is stating would cause less problems.

Thanx for your clarification on Adam's preference.

It was pretty clear right here.
