duke,
you are asking a redundant question. how are we or anyone else not at the game able to answer this question without speculation?
if there had been an exact point of reference(ie. the clock was stopped and started on the try)we could be of help. you are asking us if the shot should be counted good or no good. if the clock was running and the try was in fact released before time expired then the officials missed it. if the release happened after the horn then they were correct.
hoopsy stated "a2 gets the rebound with .2 sec on the clock and puts up a shot right before the buzzer goes off."
this answers any question on the play. good or no good? apparently good, but the officials missed it because they did not score the basket. it happens when their is not a monitor to go to. now i am being redundant, sorry.
a majority of the time officials do not have the ability to look at the clock and the shooter at the same time. most officials use the baseball theory(ie look at the bag and listen for the slap of the glove). the only way for us to know the exact expiration of time and release is to have the red light behind the backboard and good angle to see the light.

the nc2a theory is .3 or less only a tap could score a goal.
the nba theory is with .2 or less only a tap could be scored for goal.(mark dexter im not trying to step on toes or be a wise a$$)
