Mark, I'm not trying to be argumentative, but is there really a question about what "involved in the play" means? If A1 is standing 14' from the basket at the top of the lane while the big guy A2 maneuvers for a shot on the opposite block, then A1 is not involved in the play.
If big guy A2 is standing with one foot in the lane near the low block while A1 dribbles the ball above the 3-point line waiting for the final shot of the half, then A2 is not involved in the play. (You might say that he is involved in a possible put-back after the shot, but there's no way you're going to call 3-seconds while A1 dribbles down the clock.)
