I looked at R4-40-1 and R4-43-3a and put them together. I came up with the player starting his try with one foot inside the line-therefore, no 3. I could be convinced otherwise,though.  This is a good question.

I gotta go with the 3. If one foot is behind the arc, no matter which foot, and the player shoots with one foot on the floor or jumps off that foot, I've got a 3.
5-2-1
A successful try,.....from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own 19-foot, 9-inch line counts three points.
I believe this player is located behind the line. It's like Danvrapp said, if a player is stradling the division line with pivot in the BC, lifts his pivot, he's now in the FC. I don't think we can change the location of a player, based on whether he shoots or not.
