so you could only set the arrow when the throw-in after the basket is legally completed, the arrow would be set to the other team!

I have to disagree with this. The throw in doesn't have to be completed in this case. It would in AP throw in's which this isn't one of those.

Rule 4-3 art. 2,3. When setting the INITIAL direction the ball only has to be @ the disposal of the thrower.
