Throw In Violation and AP

[The_Rookie]

Team A has the alternating-possession arrow to start the second half. Thrower A1 steps over the boundary line and onto inbound territory prior to releasing the ball on a throw-in.

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.

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

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.

4-42-5c. The throw -in ends... When the throw-in team commits a throw-in violation.

Of my "Ten Rulings I Don't Think are Fair", this is one. Seems the harsher penalty on an AP throw-in should be for fouling rather than merely committing a violation. Then again, because it's the opposite of what I'd think would be "fair", it's easy for me to remember.

The foul has its own penalty components which might be considered to be more significant than keeping the arrow.

What Else on the list of rulings unfair?

Not wanting to hijack thread.

Dang, I messed this up last week too. For a refresher, if A is in the process of making an AP throw in, the only thing that will keep the arrow from switching is if B commits a foul? What if A commits a foul? Sorry, don't have my rulebook available.

The arrow switches when the throw-in ends.

When does the throw-in end? (Hint: Rule 4 is your friend)

edit: Never mind -- Billyu2 already answered it for you.
