Jump ball picked up by jumper

Coaches then won't be able to claim that "the refs gave the wrong team the ball" when they aren't paying attention.

That is why I said you check that they switch it once the AP throwin is done. If they don't switch it, stop the game and have them switch it. If you do that, you don't need to remember what it was. By RULE, the arrow is kept at the table. Get something there (it doesn't have to be a formal light-up arrow), get in the habit of managing it.

Protip: never stop the game to fix the arrow. Do it at the next dead ball. The best refs find ways to fix things (clock, arrow, fouls, etc) without anyone noticing.

Maybe. I try to get it switched without stopping the game by telling the table in flight, but I'm not waiting 3-4 minutes to get it fixed if I can't get them to fix it in flight.

I find a way to fix the arrow without stopping the game and with everybody noticing, "CHANGE THE ARROW".

Capitals and bold means loud, right?
