It's the number of taps that is in question that can be possible in .3 or less. I'm not sure it's easily analyzed or possible to say without a doubt what can happen in that amount of time. You kind of just have to hope the clock starts on time and determine if the last tap occurred prior to the horn sounding. That's why we get paid the big bucks... :)

Actually if I remember correctly, it was determined that a catch and shoot could not be done with LESS than .3. Catch and shoot was possible if .3 was on the clock hence the reason the NBA rule states a catch and shoot is possible with .3 on the clock rather than NFHS which would be illegal.

As far as the editorial clarification, I don't think it's needed. Usually a clarification is needed when there is a misunderstanding about a situation. I don't know an official alive who would allow your "loophole" JAR.

Let's hope that never evolves.

There is at least one model of scoreboard that I've seen at both a local JuCo and a local grade/high school gym where the clock shows hundreths of a second when the clock is stopped with less than a minute remaining.

There is one in our league.

Does the technical foul erase that. i thought that given the ball had become dead. the technical was shot first and then the intentional, giving the ball back to Team A for a half court possession on the intentional.

Since the technical foul is the last one shot, it trumps the others before it. That is not rule book speak, but that is how I remember the concept.
