thanks for all the clarifications and I was wrong to say it is a good play. I'm surprised that the official rules are such that it isn't a good play. I guess one can let go just a bit (lose control) then take the ball back and that would definitely be okay to restart the dribble. That'll work next time.

I don't see the need to be so clever or sly about the whole affair, using fake hand offs, or nearly fake hand offs. If A1 wants to dribble again, he should simply clearly pass the ball to A2 who then clearly passes it back. It can't take that much longer to do and may save you an unpleasant surprise when some hapless official gets screened from seeing the little hand off/hand back thing, or simply has a different judgment on whether control was relinquished, etc.

Just my $0.02

you are right. It could cause confusion and leave to chance an incorrect call even if a pass was deftly made.

That does not count, you did not quote the entire rule (at least by his standards).
