The NBA did a study a while back and it was determined that the quickest a person could consistently catch and shoot was .3 seconds. And thus, their rule states that there must be .3 seconds on the clock for a catch and shoot.

NFHS (and NCAA I believe) has said that there must be more than .3 seconds for a catch and shoot.
