If the foul occurred after A-1's dribbled ended then CM applies and I let A-1 complete any legal foot and body movements to either pass the ball or attempt a Try for Goal; [snip ...] and if A-1 releases the ball for a Try, then the ball remains alive.

As a non basketball official, I feel like you're being incomplete here. Imagine the case where A1 is posted up and ends his dribble intending to dropstep toward the endline and then lay the ball off the glass. He gets fouled from behind after ending his dribble so his pivot foot does not come up off the ground.
I really doubt that what you are trying to tell me is that he can sit there and pivot for the next 2 minutes and then shoot a layup. I think the word complete or continuous has to mean something here. And thus the play in the video could certainly be a common foul if the shooter held the ball long enough before going back up.
So what I really feel like you're saying is that the jump stop into the shot was all one motion. But that's not what your detailed text says where it suggests the only judgment is had the dribble ended.
But maybe I misunderstand you?
