I am interested in hearing why we are both obviously wrong with our logic! Seems like the only way that the answer could be true is that the act of hitting the official revokes team control.

You're correct, but your reasoning is slightly off; only in that "team control" is not relevant.
1. The official is considered part of the floor in this case.
2. A1 was the last to touch the ball before it went OOB.
3. B ball, plain and easy case.
I have no idea why the state answer is different, and I'd love to see either their rule backing or their retraction.
