You have to distinguish between the actual end of the dribble and the jump to shoot. As written above by yourself, A1 jumped to shoot, NOT to do a jump stop. And that's why it's traveling when he came down with the ball.

4-44 Article 3...After coming to a stop and
establishing a pivot foot:
b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.
That's the part that gets me. In my play, A1 hasn't established a pivot foot yet has he? He may have a pivot foot if the second foot touches the floor, or he may not have one if he executes a legal jump stop.
