This play would not be ruled a simultaneuous catch since A2 has not caught the ball. In order to rule simulaneous and team A to retain the ball, both player must have possession and both be on the ground at the exact time. B2 is the first play to complete the requirements of a catch first. Once B2 steps out of bounds the ball becomes dead. B's ball.
