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

Many do. Some even before that.

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.

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.

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.
