Oh you'd have to change some language to make the rule work at the NCAA level but I don't think it'd be too difficult to implement. I think we should reward the defense when they force a team to burn most of their allotted time to get it across rather than allow the offense to buy itself out of a violation here.
The NBA rule says a team can not be in continuous possession of the ball in the backcourt for 8 seconds. The count starts when the ball is legally touched inbounds. Team possession is defined as holding, dribbling or passing the ball and ends when the other team gains possession of the ball or a field goal attempt strikes the rim.
