However, the clock doesn't stopped till 15.6.
Help me understand why:
a. This is not a back court violation in NCAA Men's?
b. The officials don't clearly see that it was 26.2 and now 15.6?
c. This does not go to review to see: If the ball gained front court status in time or if the clock needed to be reset?

a. In NCAA - women and men - when the shot-clock is not being used (i.e., when a possession begins with less than 30 seconds in a period) the official's visible count is what's used for the ten-second count. We're not
supposed to use the clock as the official count, though we try to stay reasonably close.
b. See answer "a". Here's the case book play (it's the same play in both case books). Different scenario but the same theory:
Quote:
The game clock indicates that 29 seconds remain and the shot clock is turned off so the official is using a visible count to count 10 seconds in the backcourt. Team A makes a throw-in after a charged timeout and, with 20 seconds on the game clock, Team A is charged with a 10-second backcourt violation, but the game clock shows that only nine seconds were used. The official timer indicates that the game clock started when the throw-in was
touched by a player on the playing court.
RULING: Violation. Team B shall be awarded a throw-in at a designated spot nearest to where the violation occurred. The correctable error rule does not provide for the correction of an error made in the referee’s counting of seconds.

c. This type of play can only be reviewed if the officials think the clock did not stop/start properly.
