You may be right about him ...thinking NCAA, but also there's that 0.3 tip thing that we'd have to call with 0.00 showing on the clock. ...A tough call!

Hmmmmm - interesting. I think I asked about this several years ago (clock starts running at 5.0, you see the shot taken at 0.2) and the decision was that it was legal. The whole 0.3 refers to how much time A1 needs to control it, not how much to let go. (If he releases at 0.2, he must have started his shot before then.)

What I'm not sure on is if either replay system (NBA/NCAA) allows the crew chief/ref to decide on tap/try along with whether or not the ball was released before time expired. Anyone want to take a stab on this part?
