The reason the NBA does 0.3 in these situations is to be consistent across the board and 0.4 or more you can catch. You could take off .1 or .2 if you'd like.

NCAA Rule 5-9-4:
"When play is resumed by throw in, the game clock and the shot clock shall be started when the ball is
legally touched by or touches a player on the playing court."
If the officials ruled that the ball was fisted, replays showed that the fist was the initial touch, which was a violation, so the clock would stay 1.5 since there was no legal touch. If the clock were to start on any touch, there would be no need to stipulate "legally" in the book.
I do agree with you that 0.7 sideline inbound doesn't make sense given the info that we have.
