As for the NCAAW "having to be different", just consider the source and ignore the comments. Most people understand that a lot of the changes the NCAAW side make come down from NBA/WNBA studies and changes.

No worries on my end. Some folks don't like the NCAAW game and that's all good. As you pointed out, when it comes to mechanics we're actually the ones who move to follow the pros a bit sooner (see "officials going tableside after calling a foul"). The only thing we were slow on was the ten-second count and I don't know how much of a difference it's going to make. Realistically, how many ten-second violations are called in NCAAM? Getting two in the same NCAA tourney game this season may have been the first two I've seen in years.
Regarding when we start the shot-clock period following a throw-in (when the ball is touched as opposed to when the offense controls it), that would be the NBA rule as well...

NBA Rule 7-2b
On a throw-in, the 24-second clock shall start when the ball is legally touched on the court by a player.
