A2, being a dribbler, remains in the backcourt until all three points (the ball and both feet) touch in the FC with no intervening backcourt touches. So, if A2 was dribbling the ball in the backcourt, and then moved the backcourt foot to the frontcourt, he could still keep dribbling the ball in the backcourt and could even return entirely to the backcourt. He could also put one foot in the backcourt, then move the dribble to the frontcourt...legally.

Technically, a player could, during a dribble in the backcourt, legally continue to dribble and hop on one foot all the way to the frontcourt baseline and back into the backcourt. (as long as 10 seconds didn't expire).

-I think you are wrong here. Once the foot in the backcourt is picked up the player/ball has frontcourt status. The player then can not put the foot back down in the backcourt. Even if the player is dribbling at the time.
