Foul on throw-in after jump violation

When in doubt, always check your definitions. They are the foundation for all rules.

Rule 4-2.2 The AP procedure starts when an official places the ball at the disposal of a player for a throw-in and ENDS WHEN THE THROW-IN IS COMPLETED OR WHEN THE THROW-IN TEMA COMMITS A VIOLATION.

In this instance, neither criteria was met. Therefore Team B will still have the arrow.

However, it is not clear to me (from the rules) that this is an AP throw-in. Note that the rulebook doesn't say to set the arrow to B and then to follow the AP procedure. It just indicates that since the first legal possession goes to B, then the arrow goes to A.

In fact, maybe this is the right way to look at it. If we have the scenario that I've outlined, then A gets the ball out of bounds and hence the first legal possession in bounds will be by A. By the same kind of logic that is stated in the Approved Ruline, that would cause the AP arrow to be set to B.
