Aleternating Possession Rule/Question

If they'd just switch the arrow when we hand the ball to the thrower, all these things go away.

We have an AP throw-in.
If Team A violates, it's a throw-in violation.
Therefore, we change the arrow.

We have an AP throw-in.
If Team A fouls, it has nothing to do with the violation.
Therefore, we do not change the arrow.

Did you mean it has nothing to do with the throw-in?

Many do. Some even before that.

Simple and logical.

Not if we have a foul before the throw-in ends. 😉

Simplest solution is for the officials to know the rule and if we have a foul or violation during an AP throw-in to take a few seconds to make sure the AP is set properly.

Sorry, i was referring to a rule change. "They" would be the rules committee.

No. It's not that difficult.

You change the arrow when the throw-in legally ends or when A violates.

It's not that hard.

I know Team b's coach really well and he just doesn't understand but he goes with it and his assistant starts looking it up for the rest of the game. After the game is over I find it in the book and was going to show team b why I did certain stuff. Come to find out I screwed it up. I don't have my case book on me but it states something about the only time the arrow would switch in this situation is on a violation by team A (5 sec, traveling on the throw in) if it was a violation by team b (kick ball) it would not change. So I saw the coach after the game and explained and we talked about it. NO big deal at all.

Others have answered your question. I just want to point out that there is no such thing as traveling on a throw-in.

Situation:

HS BV 30 point game

Jump ball.....

For the record, this is NOT a jump ball.

It's a held ball.

We use a jump ball to start the game and any overtime.

Bingo. Sometimes when we say, "You just have to know the rule", it's kind of convoluted and it takes a while to really understand it. But this is a very simple rule.
