Oops.
Well, the catch/shoot part takes at least 0.4 The catch/release dribble should also take at least 0.4. Each dribble takes a finite amount of time...say at least 0.5 (not sure, just suggesting). We're at 1.3 seconds in the most optimum case. It often takes a little longer to "control" a long pass and to shoot a long shot than it does a shot one. I'd say that while it may not be impossible, it is highly unlikely to catch-dribble-shoot in 1.4.
