Because, in my opinion, it's a ticky tack thing to call one second into the game. It has little to no impact on the game other than an official trying to show how smart he is.

I doubt any coach would know it was a violation and I doubt anybody in the crowd would either. Do we really want to blow the whistle one second into the game for this? I don't.

So, if we call the backcourt violation, in question, which team gets the possession arrow?

Since a BC violation is always preceded by team control, the arrow is properly set toward black's basket the instant white gains control.
