AP Throw-in

[RickyD]

To start the 3rd quarter the AP points to Team A. Team A is awarded the ball for throw-in at midcourt opposite
the scorer's table. A1's throw-in is touched by A2 (but not possessed) then goes out of bounds at the scorer's table. Team B is awarded the ball for throw-in.
Does Team A keep the AP arrow?

[BktBallRef]

No, they do not. When the ball was touched inbounds by A2, the throw-in was ended.

Hmmmm. Are you sure that this isn't just an "interrupted throw-in"?

Agree.

[RX Ref]

What would be the difference between that and if the throw in was stolen? The arrow still changes. The AP changes when the ball is at the disposal....

[whistleblower]

No, the arrow changes when the throw-in ends.

What happens if the player violates before completing the throw-in?

OK...how about this one...A1 hands the ball to A2 but A2 does not grab it, he merely touches it...

I like that in a person!

I don't think we ever resolved this one last time. Did we?

You're a trouble-maker Dan.

Rule 6 Live Ball and Dead Ball
SECTION 3 ALTERNATING POSSESSION
ART. 4 . . . The direction of the possession arrow is reversed immediately after an alternating-possession throw-in ends. An alternating-possession throw-in ends when the throw-in ends or when the throw-in team violates.
ART. 5 . . . The opportunity to make an alternating-possession throw-in is lost if the throw-in team violates. If either team fouls during an alternating-possession throw-in, it does not cause the throw-in team to lose the possession arrow.

So it de[pends what you are asking - if A vilolates, AP arrow is lost. If A completes throw-in, arrow is lost. Anything else, AP arrow is retained.

[RickyD]

I agree that the AP arrow is lost.
Hawks quote is on target.

Thanks Hawk.
