Fraction Of A Second ...

Did the dribbler lose control because of a touch by an opponent, even for a fraction of a second?
If not, illegal dribble.
If so, legal play.
I'm not even sure if "control" in this rule means "player control" (as defined by NFHS rules), or is just a generic "lose control" as defined by Funk and Wagnalls?
9-5 has the word "player" and "control" separated by twenty-one words.
