Alternating Possession Arrow.

So are you saying that option 1 where the ball touches or is legally touched in bounds is the situation that covers this? Violation option only covers the throw-in team.

Do you have a rule reference that supports not switching the possession arrow if B commits a kicking violation? Or a specific case from the case book?

The violation for kicking the ball happens before the throw-in ends.

9-4's penalty says that the ball is dead when the violation occurs and awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at the designated spot nearest the violation.

It's no longer an AP throw-in following the violation.

The key here is that NFHS has determined the arrow entitles a team to a complete throwin, not just the start of a throwin. This is why it matters when the throwin ends.

And I think it's an unfortunate loophole that while A will have used their arrow if they commit a throwin violation, they retain it if they commit a foul.

As mbyron said the case book covers it specifically.
