Where do you get that interpretation? There is absolutely nothing that specifies the amount of time that must come off the clock when someone cotrols the ball. It only specifies how much time there must be to both control AND shoot. I assert that the shooting motion takes more than 0% of that time and probably the majority of the time.

I'm making no claim about what you should do in the actual situation at hand but am only commenting on the assertion that 0.3 must come off the clock.
