According to NCAA 2-11-5 in the most recent combined rulebook (2011-13), these were the marching orders for the shot-clock operator.

Start the timing device when a player inbounds legally touches or is touched by the ball on a throw-in or when a team initially gains possession from a jump ball, an unsuccessful try for goal or when possession of a loose ball is gained after a jump ball or unsuccessful try for goal.

The wording is basically the same in the 2014-15 NCAAW rule book.
