What if the clock had read 0.8, 1.4, or 2.6? How many dribbles and pivots is he going to allow before he declares time to have expired? Thinking in such a manner is dangerous as it can only lead to problems and wrong decisions.
Simply put his advocated criterion has no validity under NFHS rules and shouldn't be used.

If you read - I agreed that with that little amount of time left, I would chop and count however - my point still is that with
.4 seconds (not 1.4 or 2. 6 or even .8) and if they "fumbled" the catch - that .4 would be gone. Period. If you can't catch with .3 or less - you certainly can't fumble or bobble and not have it be .4 or less!
