Question from my state's fan site...

I agree, if it is acknowledged that a mistake occurred, but no definite knowledge of how much time should come off, then the team shouldn't be penalized. The coach met his burden of pointing a real timing mistake.

And I do have at least one supervisor who tells us we need to take off at least 0.4 if a player on the court catches ball, based on the rule regarding needing at least 0.4 on the clock to catch and shoot.

That seems a bit unreasonable since catch and shoot is two actions with the "shoot" part of it probably taking longer than the "catch" part of it. Should something come off, yes, but I'd suggest that the minimum time to catch the ball is less than the minimum time to catch and shoot.
