In the initial scenario it's not a fumble. It's a pass. If a player receives a pass but fumbles the catch, he can go get it and then begin a dribble. You can fumble, dribble, fumble but you can't dribble, fumble, dribble. In the situation above, A1 passed the ball. A1 cannot go and recover the ball and start over. If A1 had ended his dribble and then passed the ball with his pivot foot off the ground, he can't go get it. If, however, A1, when ending his dribble, fumbles the ball away and goes and retrieves it, legal. He can then pass or shoot but can't dribble. As every one else has posted, the dribble rules apply.
