Again, because the dribble never ended. Player control is of no consequence. The dribble was interrupted, not stopped. Therefore, the dribbler can continue the dribble no matter whether his feet are in the FC or BC since the ball never attained FC status. You're confusing player control with the end of the dribble. They are not one and the same. See 4-15-4 below.

4-15-4
The dribble ends when:
a. The dribbler catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both hands.
b. The dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands.
c. The dribbler simultaneously touches the ball with both hands.
d. An opponent bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) the ball.
e. The ball becomes dead.

In your comparison, A1 was never dribbling the ball in the BC. That is the difference.
