Traveling or nothing!

Now for another question

If A1 has control and B1 then grabs the ball which moves A1's pivot foot (think of a hard pull on the ball), this would be a travel, correct?

Nope, held ball. See 4-25-1.

4-25-1: Opponents have their hands so firmly on the ball that control cannot be obtained without undue roughness.

4.44.2 SITUATION B: Airborne A1 and A2 jointly grab the rebound and each alights simultaneously on both feet. A1 and A2 each move one foot in attempting to wrestle the ball from each other before realizing they are teammates. A1 lets go and A2 dribbles away. RULING: Legal. There has been no violation as neither A1 or A2 moved their pivot foot while they were in joint control.

Two teammates secure a rebound at same time, neither realizing that other player holding the ball is a teammate A1 has a pivot foot established on the floor the entire play. A2 is tiring to pull ball away and he moves both feet while tiring to do so. One player has a legal pivot foot and one is moving both feet while both are in control of the ball. I have seen this called walking many times. Is that a correct call? Where in Book is it found? Why should the illegal players actions hold more weight than the legal players action?

Coach, both players have player control of the ball. If either moves his pivot foot, it's traveling. The case play is cited by NevadaRef above.
