Arrow late in the quarter
Last night, my partner had an inadvertent whistle with 1.7 seconds left in the third quarter. There was no team control (during a rebound), so we had to go to the arrow, which means a team had to go the length of the court in too short of a time, and the opposition gets the arrow for the start of the fourth quarter.
Granted, it's rare, but I've always hated to see a team get the arrow with so little time that the opportunity to score is basically lost. I've always wondered if there should be a rule that allows a team to defer their arrow to the opposition, letting that team get the next one.

This type of play makes one wish that the Rules would do away with the Alternating Possession Arrow. Just saying, !

You could always just commit a team control foul. Maybe a little risky to take one in your backcourt; I guess you’d have to decide how much the arrow mattered to you. I’d definitely consider this with 0.3 or less on the clock.

A coach would also have to know the rule to employ this strategy.
