In a throw-in situation or on a rebound after the last free throw, there is always a time period from the time the inbounds player touches the ball until that player releases the ball on a shot. This is particularly important to take into consideration close to the end of a quarter or overtime. There must be a minimum amount of time available for such a shot before time expires. If 0.3 of a second or more is shown on the game clock or on the shot clock, it is the duty of the referee(s) to determine whether the shooter released the ball before the game clock or shot clock signal sounded for the end of a quarter or overtime. If 0.2 or 0.1 of a second is shown on the game clock or on the shot clock, the only type of a valid goal that can be scored by a player is by tapping or directly dunking the ball, provided that the hands of the player are no longer touching the ball when the game clock or the shot clock shows 0.0.
