Did a fumble lead to then interrupted dribble?

NFHS 4-21: A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a player’s grasp.

Did the ball bounce off of A1's leg because of an accidental loss of player control due to an unintentional drop or slip?
Response to both questions: No. In the video we saw, A1 dribbled the ball off his foot; there appeared to be no evidence that suggested that the ball was unintentionally dropped or slipped by A1; otherwise, that would be a fumble in my book. Sorry, I should have made that clearer.
