The arrow isn't reversed until the AP throw-in ends. Since there won't be an AP throw-in, the arrow stays the same.

As I read the play, I'd go with the held ball and just admonish B1 to stop play when the whistle blows (but you were there and I wasn't and only you can know whether the contact meets the definition of intentional).

I agree that Don Wert is the correct answer to the real question posed.

But...

If you called the T (I think the only type of foul possible during a dead ball, right), why would you change the arrow since it was never used to determine possession?

I do agree though that the push was dead ball contact and either had to be considered incidental or you have to go with the T.

edited to add: WOW 4 posts all saying the same thing at the same time..... And they say we refs can't agree on things...

It kind of looks like we're all jumping on the poor guy, but I'm sure that's not the case. Sometimes the posts just come fast and furious.

So CA, how does that @ss which you put on the line feel after the beating it just took?

Far better to make mistakes on here than on the court!

Just when one thought that baseball statistics couldn't be more weird.

I know, it's nitpicking.....but don't statistics have to have numeric value?

Yeah, Hassim Yuiop and Wally Werty, but, alas, neither made it past Triple-A
