Your OP did not say it might have been a fumble. It said it was a pass. Now you have asked a second question. The OP, plus it might be a fumble.

Concerning the second question. If is was a fumble, A1 can go get her fumble, but not dribble.

The difference between a fumble and an errant pass is your judgement.
My take on the difference is, "a fumble is accidental release of the ball", a pass is "intentional release of the ball". (These descriptions are intended to only apply to the question of was it a pass or was it a fumble.)

Someone in the past has posted a rule of thumb that goes something like this - You can fumble, dribble, fumble but you cannot dribble, fumble, dribble.
