Possession Arrow question

[rbmartin]

Basketball question from a Baseball guy.
NFHS rules. Jump Ball at beginning of game between Team A and Team B. Ball is tossed into air and is tipped and controlled Adams of Team A. Referee whistles violation and awards the ball to Team B.
Which way do you set the posession arrow?

The jumper tipped the ball and then caught it without any intervening touches.

Then the arrow gets set to the jumper's team

Correct.

What makes this slightly confusing to some "veteran" officials is that this wasn't always the way it was done. When the alternating possession arrow was first used in NFHS games, the illegal catch by the jumper was considered a possession, an illegal possession, but, nevertheless, a possession. The offended team, the team that didn't catch the ball, got both the ball, and the arrow. That changed a few years later. No more double jeopardy.

Easiest way to explain this is "the violation does not cost a team the ball and the arrow".

No double hammy on this.

If you're saying that the team A jumper caught the jump ball after tipping it, and a violation was called for that, then the arrow is set to team A when the ball is placed at the disposal of the B thrower on the resulting throw-in.

Had this situation happen in a game today...I'm the R and tossing the ball...jumper tips the ball two times, then catches the ball. U1 had nothing, but I came in with the whistle. Either my table is the most well versed table on setting the possession arrow or what's more than likely, they set the arrow correctly by accident as when I looked to the table after the throw-in was finished, they had it pointed to the correct direction. Heard nothing from the coaches either.
