JRut, are you saying that NBA officials, both male and female, tend to come from the women's college ranks? That's a surprise, but with the rules aligning between NCAAW, that makes sense in some weird way.

Anyway, the jump ball violation would have both AP and shot clock implications.

NBA officials tend to come from their system. There is no direct pathway for the NBA with people that work college basketball. There might be officials that have college basketball experience, but that is not how they are getting identified and used. College basketball has almost nothing to do with the NBA from an evaluator standpoint or how they train their officials.
