Last Second shot

David, personally, I would say there is no way you could wave it off.

You have two pieces of timing guidance:

A shot attempt cannot be made (must be a tap) with less than 0.3 seconds. This plainly is not your case. You have more than 0.3 seconds - a try may be attempted.

The timer's ability to turn the clock on and off allows for a 1 second delay. Yes, you want them to do it correctly but you don't have any evidence that they did it incorrectly.

The play must stand. And it was an incredible shot, why would anyone even consider taking it away?

One hotdog's statement that it would be impossible to catch and toss within 0.6 (which could have been 0.69 seconds) has absolutely no bearing. He has no factual evidence. No empirical knowledge. Nothing but a hunch. Given that the officiating team doesn't feel the clock was started improperly (late), there is nothing within the rules that would allow you to wave off such a shot.

I would say, it was HIGHLY POSSIBLE. In fact, the kid just did it!
