No, unless that touch knocked the ball to the floor.

I doesn't have to be knocked to the floor for A1 to lose player control and therefore regain the right to dribble again. For A1 to lose player control, he would just have to not be holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. If B1 knocked the ball completely out of A1's hands, even if it was straight up in the air, A1 could then recover and dribble again.

Mark, I agree with you. I feel vindicated. Before I ever got into officiating, I coached AAU ball. We had a similar sitch happen in a title game and the official called a travel on us. His explanation was that the ball never touched the floor. Being a good coach (hmmmmm). I let it go. BTW, there was 10 seconds left in the game when we had the ball and the travel was called. I had a great play all set up and I'll never know if it would have worked. C'est la vi!
