0.3 seconds left — Would a dunk from a throw-in or off. rebound of FT miss count?

I had a game last week using NFHS rules with .4 on the clock.
On the inbounds pass, the receiver catches the ball just after elevating at the free throw line. He floats about 10 feet through the air while controlling the ball in the hand and then shoots all before the horn goes off. I didn't allow as I felt the clock did not start on time and that's the only way the ball could've been in his hands so long.
Partner said I was wrong to wave it off because with .4 a player is allowed to catch and shoot.

I'm with you.

0.3 for catch and shoot is for an immediate catch and and immediate shoot. If they hold the ball any length of time between the catch and shoot, it is going to take a lot more than 0.3 to complete the action. No shot.

Do you by chance remember this high school players name that can elevate, catch a pass, and then float 10' through the air?

Heck, I might be able to float 10'. 10' really isn't that impressive. I'd hope that 95% of the players on the average HS team could jump 10'....and probably 15' feet or more for many of them.
