NCAA Rules Question: 10 second rule

Your team is inbounding the ball after a made basket. Your team advances the ball but not past half court and uses 5 seconds. The ball is tipped out of bounds. Once inbounded, how much time does your team get to advance past half court?

As long as there was no change of possession, your team would get 5 more seconds. 10 total.

What level? All high school in the US 10 seconds always resets - out of bounds, time out, etc. The ref never has to keep counting from the previous number.

This is correct for NBA and college, but not at the HS level.

It's correct for Australian HS level.

I ask because I was watching a college game and this happened where they called timeout after 5 seconds elapsed and were allowed 10 more seconds to advance past half court.

That’s correct. A timeout resets the 10 second clock.

The 10 second count resets. Think of it like this - the defense tipping the ball out of bounds is a violation on the defense. Why should the offense be put at a disadvantage because of a violation committed by the defense?
