Sounds good to me.

This interpretation changed several years ago. Back when the possession arrow was first introduced, such a violation would have given the ball, and the arrow, to Team A, but now that's ancient history. I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will be moseying along shortly to confirm my statement.

Edmund Burke said, “Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it”, but he, obviously, wasn't a basketball official.
