(c) A1 returns to the ground second inbounds, A2 first out of bounds
*blink* Two teammates, eh? Strange.
(a) & (c) are incomplete. (b) is a catch by A1, live ball.
Simultaneous catch rules do not apply here - NF 2-4-3 requires opposing players.

All incomplete. See NF casebook 7.4.3e and comment. Notably, 7.4.3e covers having one player inbounds and one OOB. The comment says that the players do not have to return to the ground exactly simultaneously.
