Timing question

Are you aware of the NBA rule requiring 0.3 to be removed from the clock anytime the ball is touched inbounds and then becomes dead again from a stopped clock situation?

That is from where deecee is taking the grounds for his decision.

My statement said for most cases. There may be times where the touch happens close to the OOB and the ball immediately goes out at almost the same time. In this case I wouldn't be comfortable with .3 seconds. In reality in most cases the number is greater than .3 but to me it's one I'm comfortable using as my baseline. I sure as hell am NOT going to NOT take any time off when the ball was legally touched and the clock didn't start.

Nope, I wasn't aware of the NBA rule.

New scenario: First quarter, 5:16 left. Throw-in is tipped by defender right back out of bounds. Clock still reads 5:16. You bothering with this or were you just talking end-of-period scenarios?

I'm not messing with this: especially if the clock isn't displaying .1s.

Basketball Rules Interpretations - 2009-10
SITUATION 11: ... the official may put the correct time on the clock, but must make some allowance for the touching by A1 – likely 10ths of a second, if displayed.

I don't care about this. These are 2 different scenarios. In the original scenario if its like a 2-3 possession game I'm not picking the nit either.
