I saw too many big plays at the end of NCAA games in the past few years to think that the last second shot is an impossibility. If you get the ball to the front court or close on the first pass, you can use that full 2.2 and get a high quality shot. And good teams do this. It is likely that a well coached team will not shoot the ball until they have to in this sitch, because you build plays around clock time remaining (a 5 seconds left play will be different than a 2 seconds left play).
If you let this play go, they either force an early shot due to seeing the clock erroneously run down, or they get the ball to the shooting position 1.5 seconds after touching it inbounds only to have the horn blow and negate the entire play, which the opponent has now seen. Stop play as soon as you see it.
