Hopefully this will clear it up:
His loss of controls was by his own actions. There was no interrupted dribble by a defender.
BktBallRef, where do we stand now.
(And should "loses control" only refer to when it is caused by a defender?)

It doesn't matter. Loss of control is loss of control. It doesn't mean loss of contact with the ball, it means loss of control, either through a defender batting it away, or through tripping over his own un-tied shoelaces and batting it away, or dribbling it off his knee, or whatever. If control is lost, it's an interrupted dribble.
