I don't watch a lot of college (or professorial) basketball on television so everything I know about college officiating I learn from the Forum. If it wasn't for the Forum, I wouldn't know that the NCAA went to the "hand behind the head" signal for both player control and team control fouls.

Even though some of our local board guys officiate college games, our local board is strictly a high school board that only teaches and discusses high school rules and mechanics.

The only reason I give half a thought to college rules is to prepare for debates with confused high school coaches that watch a lot of Saturday afternoon college basketball on television, and a few partners who work a lot of college games and know college rules better than high school rules (also to work Connecticut private prep school games that use some college rules).
