We've discussed and debated this many times here on the Forum over (at least) the past seventeen years.
By a strict literal reading of the relevant rules and definitions, Scrapper1 may be correct.
However, in a real game situation, I'm not gong to attempt to "read a player's mind" that he wanted to and intended to start a dribble.
I'll wait to see what happens next.
If the ball is next touched by a teammate, it was a bounce pass.
Or, was it?
