Ok, maybe I'm feelin' augumentative tonight, but are you saying as long as player has jumped up in the air, and one of his feet was behind the arc when he jumped (even if the other wasn't), then it's a 3?
Nope. Saying the opposite. If one of his feet was touching inside the arc, it's a two. I forgot the detail about jumping. If both feet leave the floor at about the same time, and one it touching inside the arc, it's a 2.

If the front foot leaves the floor, and then the shot is taken, it's a 3? I'm having a hard time picturing this. The jumping part makes it more complicated. I suppose someone could start to swing the front foot back, jump off one foot, and hit the shot. Doesn't seem too likely...
