Throw In Violation and AP

A had their chance for the throw in, since it was lost due to their own mistake, they have used the arrow.

6-4-5-a States B gets the throw in and also AP for B as well.

What is the logic here on the arrow being switched to Team B? Why would it not remain with A since Team B gets the throw in.

Adam's got it. I screwed this up this summer and informed the coaches that A would keep their arrow despite A1's throw-in violation.

At the risk of tilting at windmills, I don't think this is unfair at all. A had the chance to have their throw in, their throw in resulted in violation.

In my estimation, the rule should be changed so the arrow changes as soon as the throw-in begins.
