In NCAA/FED, a catch-and-shoot cannot count if the clock shows 0.3 seconds or less at the beginning of the play. In the NBA, however, the rule is that 0.3 seconds is the minimum amount of time that is allowed for a catch-and-shoot. The correlary is that 0.2 seconds must elapse any time the ball is legally touched inbounds.
