Question that occurs to me; why was the jump ball at the start of the second half eliminated?     If its good enough for determining possession at the outset of the game, why not determine possession after the half in the same way.

For those that want to reward the defense; what if you continue to use the alternating arrow, but don't reset the shot clock unless possession changes.   The defense is rewarded when the arrow is pointing their way because they get possession.   They are also rewarded when the arrow is not pointing their direction because they have interrupted the offensive flow, and where the shot clock is winding down put the offense into a situation where they must reset but don't have a full 35 seconds to work with to run a play to get a good shot.

Its not that spectacular of a defensive play that you need to reward the defense with a change of possession every time it happens.   In fact many times as has been pointed out by the comments regarding the tendency to cause a scrum, its a questionable play ie. foul- that causes the tie up.
