Did the rookies get this right?

[Mark Padgett]

I was helping train some rec league rookies last night at a 6th grade boys scrimmage. During an AP throw-in, the offensive team was called for an illegal screen while the inbounder was still holding the ball. The refs gave the ball to the other team for a throw-in but weren't sure whether or not to change the AP arrow. Later, almost the same thing happened during another AP throw-in but this time the inbounder stepped over the line prior to the throw-in for a violation. Again, they weren't sure what to do, if anything, with the AP arrow. In the first case, they finally decided to leave it alone. In the second case, they discussed it then changed it. Were they correct in either case?
