No, it's a done deal. Somebody, somewhere, did a study and decided that was a reasonable amount. If they do clearly catch and shoot before the buzzer, blame it on human reaction time if it makes you feel better. This actually happens quite often. One of my favorite calls, waving off a "good" basket and listening to the fans scream about it.
