On the other hand, if A1 uses the backcourt foot as the pivot foot, then he is allowed to move the nonpivot foot from the frontcourt, into the backcourt, back and forth across the division line, with no violation occurring.
To add to this....

If A1 catches the pass with a foot on both sides of the division line, then pivots with his backcourt foot being his non-pivot, if he picks it up and puts it back down in the BC it is a violation. Once he picks up his BC foot, everything is considered in the FC.
