So is this the final decision. The possession arrow should change whenever the ball comes in play. I hope so.

I have a rules question. Team A has the ball under their own goal and throws it in. The girl loses it and a jump ball occurs. Team A has the possession arrow and get the ball out of bounds again. They then can't get the ball in bounds, so a five second infraction occurs. Team B gets the ball. They go down the court and another jump ball occurs. I had a referee tell me that team A gets the ball again because the possession arrow doesn't change because the five second infraction occurred after the first jump ball, so they get it again. Please tell me we had a referee that didn't know what he was talking about. If he is right, that is the stupidest rule I have ever heard of.
