It used to be that the team would always get a new 10-seconds when the ball became dead in the BC. The, about 10-years ago, the rules committees decided to use the shot clock to measure the 10-seconds rather than a count. And, the teams get a new 10-seconds EXCEPT HOTT (NCAAW) and some similar (but slightly different) set of criteria for NCAAM. (For the first couple of years, in NCAAW, a eam would get a new 10-seconds if they used a TO; that was changed).
