is it a 3 or a 2

He said that he lifted his pivot foot.
The other foot is still outside the 3 pt. arc.
If he shoots with the foot on the floor or if he now jumps off the non-pivot foot, we have a 3 pt. try.

TH,once he lifts his pivot foot,all he can do is shoot,pass or call a TO.If he shoots,isn't the original position of his pivot foot a part of the try then?I looked at R4-40-1 and R4-43-3a and put them together.I came up with the player starting his try with one foot inside the line-therefore,no 3.I could be convinced otherwise,though.This is a good question.
