the .3 rule
It's rule 5-2-5 and it says, "...When play is resumed with a throw-in or free throw and three-tenths (.3) of a second or less remains on the clock, no field goal may be scored by a try for goal. In this situation a tap could score.
So either they goofed or they are thinking of some petty technicality, which will only serve to confuse more people than it helps.
