4-21: A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball
unintentionally drops or slips from a player’s grasp.
bucky is right. Fumble was my feeble attempt to describe this situation. Close, but no cigar.
It has been debated ad nauseam here on the Forum regarding whether, or not, one can make a self pass.
4-31: A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or
rolls the ball to another player.
I try to avoid describing a self pass, or an attempted pass that doesn't reach another player, as a "pass" (I will use the phrase "attempted pass", or "tried to pass" (like justacoach)).
Kind of like "endline" versus "base line", I just try to avoid the issue to stay in the good graces of all Forum members.
