I am not so sure about that. I think the time they waited was sufficient. Wait until the scoring opportunity is over and that is what basically happens.

Larks answered this question rather well. There is a change in the college Men's philosophy when the ball is coming up the court. The rotation might have been a little early, but if there is a lot of trapping near the half court line a rotation early is acceptable.

Yes they would. A player would only go to the locker room if they became a problem after their ejection. Then they need to be accompanied by an adult.

Great screen, and good call on the flagrant. It looked like if the player who committed the flagrant hadn't tripped over the cameramen, the player that took the elbow to the back of the head was ready to go after him. May have saved a whole lot of crap by him tripping like that.

Almost everything was done correctly but correct me if I'm wrong; I heard the PA announcer state that it was a flagrant foul issued. When they resumed play, the officials inbounded the ball at half court.

Isn't the ball supposed to be inbounded at the baseline at the designated spot nearest to where the foul occurred?

The foul was a flagrant technical. Because it was a dead ball technical involving contact, you put the ball at the division line not the spot of the foul. This was not a live ball flagrant foul. The officials got it right.

This is why you do not listen to the PA announcers or the TV commentators because they likely do not know. All they know is there is a flagrant foul and they do not know the technical term. And I am sure the officials told the table this was a flagrant action and that is why the announcement was what it was.
