If not, does anyone have any kind of tips or general rule they follow? Perhaps, something I can discuss with my partner(s) if we have a last second shot situation during a game.

Its spelled out in the rule book. 5-2-5 "When play is resumed with a throw-in or free throw and three-tenths (.3) of a second or less remains on the clock, a player may not gain control of the ball and try for a field goal. In this situation only a tap could score. Note: this rule does not apply if the clock does not display tenths of a second."

You can also check out specific plays in the case book. 5.2.3 situations A,B,& C.

This is an old rule. U can now secure poss. With .3 and take a shot.

Not sure where you are coming from. The rule and references were taken from the NFHS 2009-10 rules and case book.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't realize the thread took a turn to the NFHS. I apologize.

We all know you are a creditable source for information and therefore couldn't figure out why you thought the .3 rule was old. The thread turned when bbcof83 asked for NFHS guidelines.

No apologies necessary.

I wasn't aware that you did high school ball.

Maybe he's referring to driveway ball?

Funny, but no. IIRC, he does NCAA and is working at trying to make the NBA. His knowledge of high school rules is limited to how they're similar to the NBA.

Thanks ranjo, I had this little birdy in my ear telling me "less than .4 needs to be a tip" but couldn't remember if it was an actual rule or just a guideline. Appreciate the citations.

We all know the background behind the The Trent Tucker 0.3 Seconds Rule. I'm sure that a lot of veterans know the background behind the Ralph Sampson Backboard Rule, and the Patrick Ewing T-Shirt Rule. Some of us might remember the short lived Lew Alcinder No Dunk Rule. Real old timers know the background behind the George Mikan Goaltending Rule, and the George Mikan Wide Lane Rule.

Were shots taken from behind the backboard allowed before Larry Bird nailed a few of them, including one right here in Connecticut?

Are there any other rules that can be associated with one player?

How about the Patrick Ewing Interfering With The Ball After A Basket Rule. Didn't this happen in an NCAA tournament game?
