A2 is tiring to pull ball away and he moves both feet while tiring to do so. One player has a legal pivot foot and one is moving both feet while both are in control of the ball. I have seen this called walking many times. Is that a correct call? Where in Book is it found? Why should the illegal players actions hold more weight than the legal players action?
Coach, both players have player control of the ball. If either moves his pivot foot, it's traveling. The case play is cited by NevadaRef above.
