I thought it took longer than .3 seconds to catch and shoot, thus the current rule states that with .3 or fewer seconds remaining only a tap can score? Assuming that is correct (and I acknowledge that this value is something of an average, etc.), I can get behind taking .2 seconds off the clock based on the logic that the smallest amount of time in which you can "legally" catch and shoot is .4 seconds, figure half of that is catch and half is shoot. It may not be accurate, but it's agreeably logical.
