By the way I believe that they applied the rule correctly.
I realize that you believed at the time your terminology wasn't correct. I think the premise was wrong. I don't think it matters where his feet are when he starts to jump. It matters where he was last in contact with the floor when he jumped.

Again, however, if the front foot goes up so closely to the back foot that it takes frame-by-frame replay to determine it, it's a two. If the player starts his shooting motion and clearly lifts his front foot first, two or three points should be determined by his back foot.
