player A lets go of the ball before his feet touch the floor...
is the ball then considered "live" and either player can grab the ball and begin play / dribble ?

Official's judgment required:
If A couldn't release the ball on the block, it's a held ball.
If A could have released the ball on the block, but chose not to, then the release is the start of a dribble -- apply those rules.
If the block caused the ball to become loose, live ball, play on.
