So my question stands. If a catch-and-shoot is impossible in .3 seconds on an in-bounds play or off of a free throw, then how can it be possible at other times? The more i think about it, the more I disagree with BKBRef's interpretation. He conceded the point that there was .2 remaining on the clock at the time of the catch, but said that the basket should be allowed to count anyway. i think the reason that there is no case-book play on this is because it is only by replay that you'd be able to know exactly how much time, in tenths of a second, remain on the clock at any given point. I am inclined to believe that in the sitch that started this thread, that the C or T who made the ruling was right to count the basket, and also that there was more than .2 left when the player rebounded/picked up the ball for a non-tip-try. The connections between the eyes and the brain are simply not quick enough to tell exactly what's on the clock.
How about this claim? There's no case-book play for this situation, and there doesn't need to be.
