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.
