You're confused because someone (AKOFL) brought "losing the arrow" into the question when it didn't exist in the first place.

Well, AKOFL, you weren't the only one!! And it's mostly a problem of the way the questions on the #$%^& test are written. I hate that thing!!

They are meant to be taken a variety of way with only one right answer. i have a simple mind sometimes, but I try

Juulie,
There are definitely poorly worded questions on this test. Quite honestly, I don't think this is one of them. The purpose of this question is to ascertain WHEN the ball being lodged results in an AP throw-in (lodged during the normal course of play last played by a player inbounds) and when the ball being lodged results in a throw-in to the opposition (lodged during a throw-in such as the one described in the test question).

I said "True" since it is a live ball being lodged. But then I realized after my test was graded that the throw-in hadn't been completed either.

So I'm thinking, in the unlikely event this should happen, team A gets the ball for throw-in again since they hadn't violated?

FALSE is the only logical conclusion even if you over complicate the original test question

My son missed this question and the NFHS test results page responded with the following rules references:
9-2-8 already posted here and which tells us this is a violation, ball goes to B for throw-in
AND, a more salient passage in
6-4-3, as follows:

Rule 6-4 2009-10 NFHS Basketball Rules Page 46
SECTION 4 ALTERNATING POSSESSION

ART. 3 . . . Alternating-possession throw-ins shall be from the out-of-bounds
spot nearest to where the ball was located. An alternating-possession throw-in
shall result when:

d. A live ball lodges between the backboard and ring or comes to rest on the
flange, UNLESS a free throw or throw-in follows.

In the original situation, there will be a throw-in following (by B) therefore the AP provision is NOT INVOKED and there is no change to the AP arrow
