Another trick is to get into the habit of seeing it change when it should. You know when it is suppost to .... monitor the table is keeping it accuratly.

If you get in the habit of looking at the arrow everytime it should switch, you are gaining two valuable skills. One, keeping track of the table, which is always good, even in the top level games, and two, always knowing that the arrow is correct. For situations where there is no arrow, or no adequate arrow arrangement, use the color-count method.

To add to your post, I agree that if you can switch bands, whistles, memorize, etc., then you can "monitor" the table to see if they are changing the arrow once the throwin is complete. When we get the inexperienced table person, we inform them to put their hand on the switch so that we can "monitor" their awareness that it is a held ball situation. We also inform that we will hold the ball until we get their attention if they are not holding the switch. After the throwin is complete, we make sure they "throw" this switch.

Held ball followed by a time out - we remind them at the start of the T.O. that the throwin is an AP throwin and that we will hold the ball until they recognize it when we come out. It takes a few times but they get the hang of it after a few held ball situations.

Before the game, I also like to ask the scorekeeper if they know how to document the AP throwins in the book.
