It seems that the NCAA doesn't do a very good job of putting this information out to the public. Do they want us all to be like Billy Packer?
You get this workbook by attending and NCAA clinic in the fall. These meetings are required by most D1 conferences and all those officials get them. Usually many lower level college officials attend these meetings as well, but not necessarily required at those levels. It is not a book they sell. It covers issues discussed in the clinic and many officiating guidelines for the coming season. Look on the NCAA website and there is a listing of the dates already for this fall. They only hold about 10 meetings across the country. Fortunately they have been in Chicago the last 4 or 5 years so I do not have to travel very far.

I would like to the NCAA make a casebook, but we know that is probably not going to happen soon.

I really think you are making a bigger deal out of this. Conferences that have TV games give their officials a lot of information about what to do in these situations. I have been working college ball for about 5 years and I have yet to have a Media game that would even allow me and my partners to even review a play of this nature. The highest I have ever worked is Division 3 and those games hardly ever have a situation where a monitor would be available.
