However, there is an asterisk at the bottom of the "violations" box that says: "There is no stop clock signal before an out-of-bounds violation".
Seems pretty clear that not stopping the clock is an approved mechanic for NCAA, both men's and women's.

Well, I re-read Jake's post and realized that he specifically mentioned the CCA manual. So after I typed my last post, I went and got my manual. It specifically says that the official is supposed to stop the clock on OOB calls (chart, page 47). And then in the back, where it shows all the signals, it does not have the same note that I mentioned from the rulebook.
So maybe I don't owe Jake an apology, exactly, but I'm not as obviously right as I thought I was.
What's everybody else's take on this? I know that I don't stop the clock in my college games, but this is only my first year of varsity.

Chuck -
I just got back from lunch and read both your posts. You sure are right that on BR-145 of the 2002 NCAA Rules book it says "*There is no stop clock signal before an out-of-bounds violation." I guess that emphasizes the point of my original post, which is,
make sure you understand your supervisors expectations. If the Collegiate Commissioners Association manual which,
"...has been adopted by the NCAA Men's Basketball rules committees as the official basketball officials manual for collegiate officiating," says one thing and the NCAA rules book says something that is condratictory (sp?) then an official should find out what his/her supervisor wants.
Please note too, that the CCA Manual to which I was refering is the Men's 3-person manual. I'm not sure if the women's side uses the CCA Manual or if there is a similar book for NCAA women's mechanics. So in all fairness, I should have stated that in my original post.
Thanks Chuck!
Jake
