Only when a player is dribbling from the back court to the front court does the "three point" concept come into play. If a player is just standing there, with or without the ball, then only one foot across is necessary as long as the other foot is not touching.
Consider this play:
A1 dribbling the ball in his back court, stops with one foot in the FC and one in the BC. He picks up his dribble. Now, he picks up his foot that was in the BC and pivots it to another spot in the BC. This is a violation.
Or A1 passes the ball to A2, who was standing with one foot in the FC and one in the BC. Before jumping to catch the ball, he lifts the BC foot off the floor and jumps of the foot in the FC. This is also a violation.
