NCAA Rule 5 Sec 9 Art 4

When play is resumed by a throw-in, the game clock and shot clock
shall be started when the ball is legally touched by or touches a player on
the playing court.

Rule 9 Sec 10

An inbounds player (and his team) shall not be in continuous control of a ball that is in his back court for 10 consecutive seconds.

So in essence, a defensive player can tip a throw-in pass and start the game/shot clock. The ball can be batted around by both teams for 5 seconds and only when the offensive team gains control of the ball, the 10-second count shall start; the shot clock would be at 30 seconds at this point and there would NOT be a 10 second violation when the shot clock shows 25.

I don't think anyone disputes that.

In the extreme, you could have a full quarter elapse having never had the ball get out of the backcourt and having no violation.

My point was that in 95% (a number I pulled out of the air, but you get the point) of the throwins, the control and first touch are simultanous and that the clock is a viable measure (even if only for reference) in all of those cases.

If an official regularly has more than 10 seconds elapse off the clock while the ball is still in the backcourt, they count too slow.
