Is the teammate of A1 dribbling? Nope. So the above rule applies to him.

I agree with this, but isn't A1 still dribbling. If so the 3-points rule is also in effect and says the ball is in the backcourt. We have a rule that says the ball is FC and another rule saying ball is in backcourt with no rule indicating which one overrides the other.
I withdraw the issue, I have re-read the OP, and saw where the ball rebounds to backcourt. I know the dribble ends if the opponent touches the ball, is it the same if a teammate touches the ball in a dribbling situation?
Alright, I am a waffler, at least for today. The dribble hasn't ended, so we have two rules that conflict with no guidance as to which overrides the other.
