The time required to turn your head to look at the clock is less than it takes to catch and shoot, which we are told is greater than .3 seconds. I do realize > .3 is an average of sorts, but it's an official average. I'm probably going with .2 seconds. But anywhere from .1 to .3 would produce the same result, only a tap can score. The teams will draw up the same plays in their huddles regardless of .1, .2 or .3. That is why I'm not too worried about the exact amount on this play.
