That's ridiculous, Snaqs. There's a time lag between the foul on the shooter and the subsequent release of the shot. And that time lag could be a helluva lot longer than 0.1 or 0.4 seconds.

You're right. In a normal shot, the time between the start of the motion and the release of the shot is bound to be more than .4 seconds. And in most cases, that time will elapse off the clock, and in such case a last second shot may not count because he couldn't release it on time. If he's fouled, however, the clock stops and he's allowed to continue his motion with a stopped clock.
