Not sure what your sitch is.
If A1 doesn't cleanly catch the pass it's a fumble. He can recover. In this case there is no pass.
If A1 holds the ball & then passes it he has traveled if his pivot foot is lifted & returns to the floor and the ball doesn't touch the floor before he recovers it. This is the illegal play I had in mind..."caught his own pass".
If the ball hits the floor first it's a dribble and legal unless his pivot foot was lifted before the pass (ie start of dribble).
If he doesn't move his pivot foot then it can't be a travel regardless of whether he passes the ball to himself or fumbles & recovers it.
