6.4.1 situation f
 

A team member of Team A is detected dunking about five minutes before the game and a team member of B does the same thing about a minute later. RULING: The game will start with administration of the technical-foul free throws in the order in which the fouls were called. Team B shoots first followed by Team A. Team A will then be given the ball for a throw-in at the division line opposite the table. When the thrower of Team A is bounced the ball or it is placed at his/her disposal, the possession arrow will be set pointing toward Team B's basket.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't it be team A shooting first, then team B with the ball going to team B?

Rita

Team A dunked first, then team B dunked. Therefore, Team B will shoot first, then team A will shoot and get the ball.

Then if they are to be administered in the order in which they were called, team A should be shooting first.

Rita

Rita, which team shoots for A dunking? ;)

No, team A dunked first, so team B shoots first.

Ok thanks, of course. I was just having a brain fart. Doh! I knew I wasn't getting something obvious.

Rita

If you didn't recover soon, we were going to have Padgett send you some of his meds. ;)

Brain fart meds? What's that, neuro-lax? Milk of cognesia?

Forgot one: Pepto-Thinkmol?

These are also indirect T's on the coaches as well, since they are not players yet but bench personnel. So don't forget the seatbelt.

And the throw-in by A sets the AP arrow to B.

This is just a test, but when does the arrow get set?

____________

No, Rita, I would actually bet that most people read it the way you did until they stop and picture going through the actual motions of it. I know I did... even though I know that when it came time to administer them the sequence would be correct.

It's an interesting question because if it's set when the throw-in ends, what if the opponent gains control on the throw-in?

I believe it gets set when the ball is at the disposal of the thrower in this situation. Case play?

This wouldn't matter, as it happens often anyway during AP throwins.
As long as the ball is legally touched, the throwin ends and the arrow gets reversed.
It does matter, however, in case there is a held ball on the first touch, or the thrower reaches the ball across the plane and the defender ties it up, or there is a foul before the throwin ends.
Rule ref. 4-3-3 "...The ball is placed at the disposal of the thrower."
