Had A1 let the ball go OOB by striking the floor first, then the defense caused the ball to go OOB thus no violation, right??
I changed the backcourt to "Out of Bounds" in your sitch. It helps me make sense of the rule.

And I agree with some, A2 seems to be penalized in some sort of way because of his/her hustle to get the deflected B2 pass. If he/she waits for it to bounce, B2 does not have to amnd may continue on with a steal.
