It's impossible to pass the ball to oneself.

To be fair I would not know what you are talking about as many people say this as an explanation as a violation.

Oh fine, don't have my books to get the exact rule reference...but A1 can't recover his own pass, correct?

Why can't they? The only issue would be if the "pass" started a dribble and had they dribbled before. But to say a player cannot recover their own pass would be incorrect. If you deem the action to be a fumble, then all players can recover their own fumble no matter if they dribbled or not.

Peace

The play you described (A1 bounces the "pass" with spin and catches the ball) is legal.

Right, I got that. We were debating whether or not A1 can recover his own pass.

JRut answered your question correctly...there are times one can retrieve a thrown ball without repercussion and times where if you do so, you might be committing an illegal dribble violation.

Impossible. By definition, a pass is to another player.

So, A1 can recover a fumble. A1 can recover (end) a dribble -- even if the dribble covers a long distance, and A1 takes multiple steps to recover.

A1 can't toss the ball in the air, move the pivot foot and catch the ball.
