The only thing this rule is intended to preclude is a catch and shoot.

5-2-5
When play is resumed with a throw-in or free throw and three-tenths (.3) of a second or less remains on the clock, a player may not gain control of the ball and try for a field goal. In this situation only a tap could score.
A tap = one tap.
If two players tip it, that's it. I'm not going to score such a basket and all I need is that statement to back my call.
