If A1 has already dribbled, then it's a double dribble to recover the ball. If A1 hasn't already dribbled, then A1 can recover the ball.
Rainmaker, here is your answer to that question.
Hawks Coach, I concur. Almost anyway. If it is a one-handed pass that hits the official airborne then the same player gets to the ball before it touches the floor, this player my push the ball to the floor and continue a dribble. (Remember, hitting the official is like hitting the floor.)

That being said, I’m not sure I would get this 100% right. It’s a weird situation that is worth staying out of the way to avoid.
