Would you want the timer to alert the officials?

Ideal for sure, but I didn't really think it needed clarification at that time. No one said anything when I kept the arrow. The ball was already live when the Visitor started asking.

In that case, I'd suggest getting their attention at the next dead ball to clarify the ruling.

Precisely why I go mini-Ed H when there's a kick violation on an AP throw-in.

"The arrow will now not change after the throw-in."

A rare event which is likely to be very highly misinterpreted can be clarified immediately by 1 simple short sentence.

Do you extend both arms and drop your seat in a position not unlike preparing to take a dump when doing so?

I would have to admit that I'm fairly weak at my communication with tables still. So, I would preferable like the table to hit the horn a couple times before the ball is made live following the kicked ball, if there is any question whatsoever.

Then we can adjudicate this properly.

Very similar to talking with a partner on a dead ball, to make sure we get the play right.

...it's the scorer's job to tell you/us.

NFHS 2-11-7:

The scorer shall: Record the jump balls for the alternating-possession procedure and be responsible for the possession arrow.

If the scorer is sure something is wrong it's his/her job to speak up.
