Caught rector misbehaving? Thats right (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

correct

'right' is the definition.
('correct' can be a synonym of 'right')

'caught rector misbehaving?' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'misbehaving?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'misbehaving' mean this).
'rector' with letters rearranged gives 'orrect'.
'c'+'orrect'='CORRECT'

'thats' is the link.

(Other definitions for correct that I've seen before include "Adjust, make right" , "See 12" , "Free from error" , "Rectify" , "Set right - punish" .)
