offense penalized

But I think your revision should read:

...Team A would then be awarded a throw in as a result of the kicking violation by Team B, and would not lose the arrow since they did not commit a violation, as references in Rule 6-4, art 5. The resulting throw-in would still be considered an AP throw-in and the arrow will change when this throw-in ends.

You penalize Team A. They lose the arrow because Team B kicked the ball. All that needs to be revised is "legally" touched ends a throw in.

The offense might lose the arrow but they don't lose the throw-in. They would have lost the arrow on the subsequent substitute throw-in for the defensive violation anyway. They are not disadvantaged in any way iow. They are simply repeating their original AP throw-in after the kicking violation. They never lose this throw-in.

Your logic is faulty from the git-go. What you are suggesting actually penalizes the defensive team twice for one violation.
