Obviously, I could be wrong, but I don't think that the NBA rule was ever 0.7 seconds. I think the situation was that there was 0.7 seconds (or thereabouts) and the player got off the shot, even tho he seemed to take longer than that. So the NBA did a study, and the result was that it takes at least 0.3 seconds to catch and shoot. So that's what they changed the rule to. It hasn't been the rule for that long, either. It should be possible to find out when it was introduced and what it was originally.
