Here ya go, jar, I went back and found the play referred to.
A.R. 42. With 2/10 of a second remaining on the game clock, Team A is awarded a throw-in at the division line. A1 passes the ball to A2 who (a) catches the ball with both hands while in the air and throws the ball into his or her basket or (b) does not catch the ball but taps it into the basket. In both (a) and (b), the ball is in the air on the way to the basket when the game-ending horn sounds.
RULING: In (a), when the game clock displays 0.3 seconds (3/10 of a second) or less and play is to be resumed by a throw-in or a free throw, a player may not gain possession of the ball and try for goal. When this situation occurs, the official shall blow his/her whistle and the game is over, unless a flagrant personal foul (women: flagrant foul) or intentional personal foul is committed on the play. Whether the try for goal was successfully attempted before the expiration of time is inconsequential. In (b), when the player does not possess (catch) the ball but taps it into the basket before the period-ending horn sounds, the official shall use replay equipment, videotape or television monitoring, when available and located at courtside, to ascertain whether the tap (try) that will determine the outcome of the game was released before the sounding of the period-ending horn. If, in using the monitor, the official determines that the successful try was a catch (the player possessed the ball), the official shall cancel the goal since it was erroneously counted and can be corrected per Rule 2-10.1.c.
