As I have stated before (backed up by Bob and Tony) the play is legal in NCAA and illegal in NFHS. IMHO, I think that the better interpretation because it is consistent with the definitions of player and ball location as well as the three exceptions listed in the NFHS and NCAA Rules.

However, the incosistency is that there are no exceptions listed in the NCAA rule book.
As for AR 20, it is the exact same play. It just doesn't say whether A1 is airborne or not, when he catches the ball. If A1 leaves the floor in the FC and catches the ball while airborne, he is in the FC and he has established team control. Therefore, an exception must exist that allows him to land in the BC or to toss the ball to a teammate in the BC for the play to be legal.
