NCAA time-out rule

[Scrapper1]

In another thread, RoyalsCoach mentioned several errors that officials had made in his/her games this season. One of those was the following:

So far this year I have had :

2.an opponent call time out during a pass and been told this is legal because there is team possession during a pass

Just wanted to point out that the official may have been confused by NCAA 5-11-1a:

Time shall be out and the game clock and shot clock, if running, shall be stopped when:

a. A player or head coach requests a timeout, such request being granted only when the player's/coach's team is in possession of the ball (this includes that team's throw-ins and its free throws) or when the ball is dead.
