If A1 has his left foot on the 3-point line and his right foot behind the line, what's his status as soon as he picks his left foot up? Iow, he's holding the ball with one foot in the air and one foot on the floor behind the arc. Is he behind the line or not?
It is two separate acts. One to get behind the line by raising one foot. One to shoot going off the other foot that is behind the arc.

I'm talking about a subtle leaving first, not an obvious one.
Many times when a player jumps one foot will leave the floor a split second before the other, by what you were saying, anytime that happens it would be ruled a 3 even if the jump shot began with a foot on the line...I disagree.
You disagreed with the other poster who brought up shooting motion beginning having an affect on the call, so I changed up the OP slightly to illustrate that it should be part of judging this play.
