The exact result of the study was that you can't catch and release a try for goal in 0.3 seconds or less.

Glad I could help.
Not true. In NFHS, you can't catch and shoot with .3 left, but you can in the NBA.

The NBA rule is "No less than :00.3 must expire on the game clock when a player secures possession of an inbounds pass and then attempts a field goal." So, you can catch and shoot with .3 seconds left.

Glad I could help.
