5-12-1 also indicates it must also be corrected within the correctable error time frame (I'm too lazy to type it all out or to d/l the rule book to copy-and-paste)

Bob, I am also lazy but I am retired so I will do it for you:

2025-26 & 2026-27 NCAA Women’s Bkb. Rules Book:

R5 (Scoring and Timing Regulations)-S7 (Quarters and Overtime – Beginning and End)-A5: No correction of a timing mistake shall be carried over from one quarter or overtime. The mistake shall be corrected before the start of the subsequent intermission.


R5 (Scoring and Timing Regulations)-S12 (Timing Mistakes and Malfunctions):

The following articles pertain to mistakes and malfunctions in games played without replay/television equipment. For timing mistakes and malfunctions in games with replay/television equipment, see Rule 11 [Replay].

A1: When an obvious timing mistake has occurred because of the failure to start or stop the game clock properly, the mistake shall be corrected by the referee. After the mistake of either failing to start or stop the game clock, such a mistake shall be corrected:

a. During the first dead ball and before the ball is touched inbounds or out
of bounds by a player other than a thrower-in.

b. When the clock should have been continuously running, before the
second live ball is touched inbounds or out of bounds by a player other
than a thrower-in.

No timing mistake correction shall be carried over from one quarter or overtime to another. Such a mistake shall be corrected before the start of an intermission.

P.S. Have you received your CCA Women's Manual. I know some men's officials have not received their CCA Men's Manual.
