Incomplete pass ?

I'd give A the catch. This doesnt qualify as a simultaneous catch. . NF 2-4-3 A simultaneous catch or recovery is a catch or recovery in which there is joint possession of a live ball by opposing players who are inbounds.. So Im thinking the ball is live because NF 2-28-1 says A player or other person is out of bounds when any part of the person is touching anything, other than another player or game official, which is on or outside the sideline or end line". The A player could actually jerk the ball away and advance if he's not already down

Ive been trying to understand rule 2-28 and am still confused with the exceptions.

If B is first to touch the loose ball then it's dead and belongs to the team last in possession . If it's at the same time then we'd have the same result.
