I think for all these purposes (and certainly in the OP) the NCAA and FED rules are the same.

The college rule says for each jump ball jumper have both feet inside half of circle further from its basket. That would be meaningless if once ball was tossed he was allowed to step on the other side of the circle.
I think they are talking about leaving their half of the circle. This jumper was not out of the other half of the circle before the jumper touches the ball but I have a violation for entering other half of circle.
Also, as others said. Jump ball was not over do he is not allowed to catch it.
