Alternating Possession

For alternating posession, it is when the throw in ends. So in this case. If A was inbounding the ball because of an alternating posession and commited a violatin, B gets the ball, but the arrow still points to A. The violation includes throwing the ball out of bounds without touching someone.

This is different for the start of a game which is not alternating posession. For example, if during the initial jump ball, team B commits a violation, team will get the ball and the arrow is set to team B when the ball is at the throwers disposal. If then, A commits a throw in violation, B gets the ball, but still will have the arrow.

You are wrong. I do not have my rule books in front of me but both NFHS and NCAA rules agree that one of the ways a throw-in ends is when the team attepting the throw-in commits a throw-in violation. Therefore in the play of the original post is that when Team A commited the throw-in violation, the AP Arrow is reversed toward Team B's basket, Team B receives the ball for a throw-in as the penalty for Team A's throw-in violation, and Team B will get the ball for a throw-in for the next AP situation.
