So we all misread the following, " BTW, if A1 turns his back & dribbles away from the basket, no way in hell I'm calling 5 seconds!" Sure sounds like you do end your count to me.
Maybe you can explain to us how these 2 are different?
In the first you said, " I do NOT end my 5 counts," so when you reach 5 you would call 5 seconds.

In the second you said," No way in hell I'm calling 5 seconds!"

In the first you do not specify basket, but you do in the second.

So in the first, as written, you would call 5 seconds in the following play.

A1 is facing away from their basket, B1 is guarding in the path toward the back court, your count begins. A1 then turns TOWARD their basket, away from B1 and you would call 5 seconds.

That makes sense.
