Yup. That's it, Bucky. Thanks!

PLAY 5:
Thrower A‑1 has the ball for the alternating-possession throw-in at the division line to start the second quarter. A‑1 commits a throw-in violation by taking longer than five seconds to release the ball.

RULING: The AP throw-in to start a quarter is not in either the frontcourt or the backcourt. Therefore, in this situation, the official administers the ensuing throw-in for Team B as a designated-spot throw-in at the division line, opposite the table.

The possession arrow is switched toward Team B’s basket immediately after the violation by A‑1. This ensuing throw-in is not an AP throw-in, so Team B will be entitled to the next throw-in under the AP procedure. (IRG Play 9-3-2, NFHS 644, 645).
