depends on a catch and shoot or a tip in and all of that
Derek fisher beat the spurs in .4 seconds in the NBA on a catch/turn/and shoot
not going to be an issue in the NBA with instant replay on all buzzer beaters they'll get it right everytime or close to it and don't have to rely on time issues to help determine their decisions they can just watch the replay and see if someone made it happen regardless of the time

The NBA changed the rules back in the mid 90s or 80s to reflect some ridiculous shot that everyone knew shouldn't have counted but did. The NBA now states that if there is 0.3 seconds on the clock or less than the only possible play for the basket to count is a "tip-in." However, I have seen this rule stretched for example I have seen dunks being allowed. Also, you can never be too sure about the clock when it gets under 0.5 seconds. Everyone remembers Derick Fishers rainbow over Manu Ginobili to steal the 2nd round west series from the spurs, but what most people don't know is that there was an error in when the clock started, allowing Fisher just enough time to get the shot off. This is always a disputed rule. Sorry I don't know if there is a difference between college and NBA, good question though.
If the question was with regard to a jump shot, currently in the NBA, the player with the disputed quickest release is Michael Redd who can get his shot off in 0.4 seconds after he touches the ball.

I've heard announcers in several of the NCAA Tournament games this year say that the rule is 0.3 is the shortest amount of time allowed to "catch and shoot". And we're talking about literally letting it hit your fingertips and putting it in. So I'm thinking realistically you need at least 0.4-0.5 to "catch and shoot".
As far as the NBA I'm pretty sure it's the 0.3. I think anything less and it's physically impossible for someone to actually catch and shoot the ball. NBA or College.

Dear newt 55,
.4 is the most amount of time to catch and shoot (as demonstrated by Derek Fisher a couple of years ago).
On an out-of-bounds play, .3 you can get a tip basket.
.1 you can tip-in if the ball is already in play and you tip in a miss, this would presume the play probably started with more than .6 seconds.
Hope that helps,

Don't know about college, but in the nba, 0.3 is the minimum for catch and shoot. For an alley-oop and tip-in, i think they still consider 0.1 secs. If you think about it though, there's no way you can catch and shoot in 0.3 secs. It's just because the person operating the shot clock doesn't start it RIGHT AWAY after the shooter catches the ball. You know, reaction time delay...

0.4 is the offical time to be able to catch and shoot the ball. Anything under that is just a tip.

0.4 is the absolute smallest amount of time to catch and fling it in a shot like fashion anything under that has to be a tip in...

,4 seconds is the least amount of time allowed to actually inbound and shoot the ball. (This is the BARE minimum)
.3 you are looking at BEST for a tip in. ( you DO NOT have enough time to inbound plant feet and shoot - IMPOSSIBLE)
Hope all is well.
