AP throw-in followed by non AP throw-in

[Eric]

Just curious to see how many officials knew about and/or would enforce this rule.

This case play was found in the rules by topic book.

Team A has the ball for an alternating-possession throw-in. During the throw-in, team B kicks the ball. Violation, arrow is still pointing toward team A since the ball was never legally touched inbounds. Team A has the ball out of bounds again, except this time it’s a non alternating-possession throw-in, which means after the ball is legally touched inbounds the arrow does not get switched. So team A will get the next held ball, thus what appears as 2 AP possessions in a row for the same team.

Has anyone ever enforced it in this manner? Any arguments with coach or table staff?
