I always thought if it was 0.3 or less you had to tip the ball in for it to count, but this game got me to research the rule. Apparently you have to tip it if it's LESS than 0.3. It's the Trent Tucker rule.

That's a great photo. This was the closest buzzer beater I can ever remember. Literally one frame his fingertips were touching the ball with no light, then the next frame the ball was out with the light on. There was pretty much no way to tell for sure via replay.
