Five Second, while holding in college

Did a college game tonight, but I'm primarily a H.S. official. I love the 30 second shot clock and I'm ok with the new "five second" closely guarded rule = holding only.... The fact that the best ball handler can dribble without giving it up to an average ball handler for most-if-not all of the possession is good and ideally the shorter shot clock render the five second call unnecessary...? However, will this make college officials lazy and avoid counting at all?
Ole Miss v Vandy 1:30 left in the game (full 30 sec. shot clock).
Guard holds the ball- closely guarded for 11 seconds and never even got a count started...
Maybe it'll be a POE next season?
