I think OP is right, albeit for the wrong reason.

In the boys game I work, it's not too uncommon to have 2-3 quarters without a held ball.

And in 6th grade girls games, it's not too uncommon to go 2 or 3 possessions without a held ball . . . I rember reffing those games in HS (my "training" was reading the rule book) -- and my arm could be tired from tossing the ball up so many times. . . I still think the guys on the committee who adopted the horrific possession arrow "solution" must have done those young games . . .
