Time is winding down and Team A is down by two points when player A1 ends his dribble 2 feet inside the Three point arc while B1&B2 are double teaming him. A1 then realizes that there are 2 seconds left on the clock and he takes 1 full stride backwards and on one foot he fires up a prayer from behind the three point line and it goes through the basket as the final horn sounds.
Situation A : A-1 lifted the pivot foot as he stepped back behind the arc but the pivot never touched the floor again as he took the shot.
Situation B : A-1 dragged the pivot foot as he stepped back behind the arc and then lifted the pivot as the shot was being taken.
