I see a loophole here. It's only a travel violation if A1 is the first to touch the ball after it bounces on the floor.
4.44.3 Situation A: A1 jumps to try for goal. B1 also jumps and: (d) touches the ball and A1 drops it to the floor and touches it first after it bounces. Ruling: In (d), a violation for starting a dribble with the pivot foot off the floor.
Not the same as the interpretation (explanation) given, but a possible complicating factor.
