Let me try to make it more simple, Player A1 drible down the court does a 2 hand chest pass to player A2 but instead it hit an official and comes back to player A1, so can player A1 recover the ball before it is touch by another player.

NO. Explanation: When A1 touches the ball with 2 hands to pass the ball, this ends his dribble. He then throws the ball off the official, which is considered the same as hitting the floor at that spot. This action meets the definition of a dribble (4-15-1) "A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times."
Therefore, if A1 goes over and touches the ball again, before anyone else does, it is a double dribble violation.

What some others have told you, which may have caused the confusion, is that A1 could also end his dribble with only one hand. (See 4-15-4a) This would be a judgment call by the official. (Whereas touching the ball with two hands takes all the judgment out of the call; it is a hard and fast rule. (4-15-4c) The dribble has ended.) If the official believes that A1 makes a one-handed movement that ends his dribble and begins a pass, then the above violation would still apply.
If the official decides the one-handed movement did not end the dribble then A1 may recover the ball. If the recovery is with both hands that ends the dribble and he may not now start a new one. If the recovery is with one hand, A1 may continue his dribble, if the ball doesn't come to rest in that one hand.
