If not, it's a travel-not a BC violation. I'm just not sure if you can ignore the fact that A1 started a shot, by rule, with one foot over the 3-point line.

Jurassic - Based on your reasoning above (which I agree with 100%!), sounds like A1 is behind the three point arc!
If he's still in the BC when he picks up the foot in the FC (which he is), then he should still be behind the three point arc when he picks up the foot inside the arc - same principle applies. Assuming that A1 doesn't shoot at roughly the same time the foot inside the arc comes off the floor, looks like a 3 to me.
BTW, what makes you say that "A1 started a shot, by rule, with one foot over the 3-point line?" I didn't know you had to have two feet on the floor to start a shot???
