After the TO MTSU pressed and Minnesota was not able to inbound the ball and called a TO. After the Minnesota TO the officials went back to the monitor and reset the clock to 7.2 seconds. Did this fall into the proper correcting of a correctable error as no time had run off the clock after the stoppage as Minnesota did not inbound the ball before the TO. The additional time didn't make any difference as on the ensuing inbounds play a MTSU player was called for a T for slapping the ball out of the inbounders hand while the inbounder was out of bounds and had not released the ball.

First, remember this isn't a correctable error. There are only five CEs, four of which have to do with FTs. This was a mistake in stopping the clock.

That being said, it did fall within the time frame to deal with it:

NCAA 2-13-2c (use of replay monitors):
1. Determine whether the game clock malfunctioned or whether a timing mistake occurred in starting or stopping the game clock.
a. After the malfunction or mistake, such a mistake shall be corrected:
1. During the first dead ball and before the ball is touched inbounds or out of bounds by a player other than a thrower-in.

The crew was okay because, as you said, the ball was never touched by anyone other than the thrower after the time out.
