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.

So you're saying that you could control the ball in 0.2 seconds, but it would take another 0.2 seconds to let go of it again?
I guess I'm figuring that if the minimum time required to control and shoot is 0.4 seconds, then it takes 0.3 to simply catch it. That would make the release of the ball 25% of the total time, not 0%.
Honestly, I'm following the NBA's logic on this b/c they allow a catch-and-shoot with 0.3 seconds showing. And they also mandate that any time the ball is caught inbounds, no less than 0.2 can come off the clock.

There's the problem, Chuck. You're guessing. You don't know for sure whether it's 0.2, 0.3, 0.4....seconds to catch and control. The rules won't allow you to guess though. The only way that you can correct by rule is to have definite information. You don't have definite information.
