A1 has the ball for an AP throw-in. A2 fouls B1. Team A doesn't lose the arrow.

Hmmmm.

I am confused by this one, too. I understand the points above, and they are helpful. How would it be if an A player fouls B on the first shot of two, before the ball is released, I call it intentional. It is definitely "excessive contact!"
