Now normally I am a by-the-book official and rules will be enforced as they are interputted in the rulebook (that is why it is there, afterall) BUT in this situation I would have to say that the book does not correctly cover this play and this is why I would choose to refer to NCAA R2-S3-A1 and apply the "elastic powers" provision to do the correct thing for the game.

NCAA 5-1-7 and NF 5-2-4 say
The only infractions for which points are AWARDED are goaltending by the defense or basket interference at the opponent's basket.

2-3-1 says
The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules.

Now, what point is it that you guys don't understand? When an official can award points is covered by the rules. You can't ignore the rule and decide that you're going to award points in another situation. It says specifically that you can only award points for GT or BI.

Very clear. Crystal clear.
