Intentional foul on the jump ball

It's confusing to a lot of people, but it's actually pretty simple. If you shoot FTs before the arrow has been set, then the arrow is initially set when:

1) The ball is at the inbounder's disposal following the FTs for a non-common foul; OR

2) The ball is at the free thrower's disposal for the FTs for a common foul.

That's all there is to it. If they're bonus FTs, set the arrow when the shooter gets the ball. If they're technical or intentional FTs, then set the arrow when the inbounder gets the ball.

As a generality set the arrow at the last possible moment at the last point the ball becomes alive before the clock may start, yes?
