If A1 has already dribbled before he "shoots", the dribbles again part above is not necessary for the violation. The second dribble actually occurs in the act of throwing the ball off the opponents' backboard and being the first to touch it. The violation should be called right then. What you call dribbles again would be a triple dribble!
Maybe an official should call a double turnover.
