NCAA question...dead ball offsetting?

[sloth]

I'm watching the North Texas/Memphis game. Theres a lot of jawing going on. A couple of times I've seen yellow and the referee is calling dead ball offsetting fouls. However, in federation rules dead ball fouls can't offset, right? Moreover, there is no reply of the down.

While in theory, two equal fouls are basically the same, it isn't in the case where the infraction occurs within the half the distance yardage area.

I just wanted someone to give insight if NCAA allows dead ball fouls to off-set.
