It will have done it's job, IMO.

And then we gotta explain to a coach why he just lost the arrow when the other team kicked the ball before it was legally touched on the throw-in.

Any coach with an IQ higher than a kumquat is gonna be teaching his players to try and kick the ball every time when defending an an AP throw-in.

It doesn't really make sense to me to have a team gain an advantage by committing a violation. I'm with M&M.
