What do you have if anything? A reference would be nice if you have one.

Jerry, did A1 actually do it or merely have an angle to do it?
First off - You can never know what A1's intention was. Even if A1 told you after the fact, A1 could then be lying.
As for the rules, I am pretty sure a case play says this is legal as you should presume it is a shot attempt. Someone will either educate me or confirm via a case play reference.
