This is false also. If player A1 is dribbling the ball on the division line, right foot in front court and left one in backcourt, if A1 lifts his left foot, (right foot now the pivot), he is now in front court.
You're correct in that the answer is "false", but your reasoning is wrong. The play is during a dribble. If the ball hasn't gone into the front court, it doesn't matter what the dribbler does what his feet. You can't have a backcourt violation until the ball and both feet are in the front court. In the play above, A1 is dribbling the ball on the division line, not in the frontcourt. He is still in the backcourt and can't commit a violation, no matter what his feet do.
