What about this scenario: A1, high up in the lane, receives a pass, turns and faces up, upfakes, dribbles to the basket, abrubtly stops the dribble by catching the ball while in the air, upfakes, and, when B1 goes to one side, pivots legally and attempts a layup.

The sequence for A1, above, could consume 5-seconds.
No, it couldn't; b/c if the above sequence took longer than 3-seconds, then it would be a 3 seconds violation at the "red" upfake. Once he pulls the ball down after the fake, he's no longer making a move to the basket.
