Possession Arrow

Team A and B have a held ball. Team B has the arrow and takes the ball out on the baseline. Official hands the ball to Team B, starts the count, BEFORE the ball is thrown in, Team B commits a pushing foul. The question is...Does the arrow stay with Team B while Team A takes the ball out due to the foul?

The arrow doesn't change until the throw-in ends or Team B violates.

Since a foul occurs, the arrow is not changed.

So in the above situation, does the arrow change in any of the following situations (all before the ball is inbounded):

5 second count on Team B?
Foul by Team B?
Foul by Team A?
Team B steps on the line as they throw it in?
Ball is inbounded, not touched, and goes out of bounds?
Team A has a kick violation?

Thanks.

5 second count on Team B? - B violation = switch the arrow.

Foul by Team B? - Foul, therefore do not switch the arrow.

Foul by Team A? - Foul, therefore do not switch the arrow.

Team B steps on the line as they throw it in? - Stepping ON the line is fine, when inbounding, because the line is out of bounds, by definition. So if the thrower-in steps ON the line, it's nothing: the administering officials keep the 5-second count running, and B still must throw-in the ball.

Ball is inbounded, not touched, and goes out of bounds? - Throw-in violation. Switch the arrow, and issue the new throw-in from the same location as the AP throw-in.

Team A has a kick violationing. - Throw-in did NOT end, because neither of BktBallRef's conditions were met. Do not switch the arrow and give Team B a throw-in for the kicking violation. Yes B will get the next AP throw-in.

Thanks.

Using the statements that BktBallRef provided, see the answers in red.

Thanks for the information...one more thing, sat Team B steps OVER the line as they inbound. Based on the information, the throw in didn't end, so keep the arrow the same and give the ball the Team A?
