Trent Tucker Rule

"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. If less than :00.3 expires in such a situation, the timer will be instructed to deduct AT LEAST :00.3 from the game clock. If less than :00.3 remain on the game clock when this situation occurs, the period is over, and the field goal attempt will be disallowed immediately whether successful or unsuccessful."

大意是指一個球員由持球到出手的這個過程至少需要0.3秒，就算過程真的在0.3秒內完成，時間還是會以扣掉至少0.3秒來計算。當然若這一節的時間只剩下不到0.3秒的話，那本節可直接宣告結束，若有進球也不算數。

這個規則起因於1990年1月15號尼克對上公牛的比賽，在比賽只剩下0.1秒的情況下Trent Tucker接獲了界外的發球並投進了逆轉的三分彈...這場比賽後聯盟就制定了這條Trent Tucker Rule，但若是在沒有持球的情況下於0.3秒內將球撥進那還是照算的

少于0.3秒只能空中接力扣篮或点拨，否则投中无效
