Then, yes, you allow the catch-and-shoot.

What you don't do is declare the quarter over.

Obviously whether there can be a catch or not is very important, but just as obvious is this is not a determining factor of whether the quarter is over. If the clock shows .2, you know there cannot be a catch and shoot, but.......

Like I said, there is no differentiating between consoles that show tenths of a second and those that do not, so you're just making things up if you allow it.

That's *not* it. The order is LED lights/red light then horn. Zeroes on the clock does *not* = end of a quarter if one of those other devices hasn't gone off regardless of whether the visible clock shows tenths of a second. (NFHS 1-14, 5-6-2)

Regarding the use of the console to determine the exact time, don't. If the visible clock doesn't show tenths of a second then the 0.3 catch/shoot rule doesn't apply for that game (NFHS 5-2-5 Note)

That doesn't make sense, though. How do you determine if an offensive rebounder can attempt a shot by catching first or simply by tapping the ball? Unless, the scoreboard console shows tenths of a second? Which the book doesn't describe. I mean, is the rule different in different gyms? Seems like that should be covered.

You make sure you watch the play and see if the shot gets off before the horn. At this point we have to earn our stripes and be aware.

And if the clock shows zeros count: one-one thousand and blow the whistle. The quarter is over.
