No, I'm not saying they got it wrong. The officials in the game obviously ruled that the player didn't lift his front foot first.
I'm saying that having one foot inside the arc at the start of the shooting motion, as you said, is not the sole determining factor as to whether it's a 2 or a 3. You can't go by that in itself. The determining factor is where the shooter was touching when he left his feet. In this case, the officials obviously decided that that the front foot inside the arc wasn't lifted before the back foot.
