If it was clear that the ball was caught and some time ran off before the horn sounded, then I'd take off more than 0.3 seconds, using my best judgment.

And no, I do not have definite knowledge, but I'm not doing a do-over unless the horn sounded before the throw-in was released.

Chuck:

I agree with your solution (because it is also my solution) with the small disagreement about how much time should be on the clock, but I can live with resetting the game clock to the orginial time left minus 0.3 seconds.
