Can you catch and shoot with .3 in FIBA or are you just kidding all around?

FIBA Rules Book (2010)

16.2.5
The game clock must indicate 0:00.3 (three tenths of a second) or more for a player to gain control of the ball on a throw-in or on a rebound after the last or only free throw in order to attempt a shot for a field goal. If the game clock indicates 0:00.2 or 0:00.1 the only type of a valid field goal made is by tapping or directly dunking the ball.


The rule is the same in the NBA. For college and NFHS, the time period is .4.

Thanks APG, I know the Fed rule but not the FIBA rule.

I know that.

You know how it's sometimes hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic or not and since I am clueless about FIBA rules...
