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.

What?
As he pulls the ball down he's stepping towards the basket for his layup.
If we take your advice the whistle will sound as the ball is hitting the backboard on the layup.
