Foul inside 0.3 seconds...

Bingo.

The OP never mentioned if it was a catch or a tap. If the basket was scored on a tap, then it counts. By rule a player cannot catch and shoot with 0.3 or less.

Do you really think he "tapped" the ball 85 feet?

I had it once all last season, and so far not a single time this season.

+1
I've never actually done it.

This season, I've only had one throw in with .3 or less.

What an exaggeration! Quite often? Not at all uncommon?

Okay, I have seen it happen on more than one occasion. One thing about it, whether they know it or not, there is no pressure on the timer in this situation. A tip: It counts. A catch: Period over.

I have never seen it happen. I think it depends on what you have seen in your experience.

Peace

I know I waved off a basket that I would have counted on at least two occasions because of this.

Also, at one of my son's jr. high games, the clock showed .3, the opponents caught and shot a 3, and it originally was signaled good. Only time in my life I screamed a rule across the court as a spectator. The coach questioned, and the call was reversed.
