See 4-4 Ball Location.
Since this was NOT a dribble from BC to FC, the "three-points" rule doesn't apply. So, as soon as the ball hit the FC during the fumble, the ball has FC status. When A2 again touched the ball with a foot in the BC, the ball now had BC status. Last-to-touch; first-to touch. Violation.
