This assumes that the player had player control before "saving" the ball. Otherwise, grabbing the ball and dribbling is perfectly legal.
For example, if a ball thrown by A1 is heading out of bounds and A2 simply bats the ball back towards the playing court, then comes back and grabs the ball with both hands, A2 may dribble.

The trick is to define "control" and to apply that appropriately to the saving push back toward the court. Personally, I don't see how this could ever be the start of a dribble. But I don't need another 10 page thread on the subject. We can all save ourselves a lot of time if someone could cite the link back to that brou-haha a few months ago. And Chuck is at camp this week, so it'll have to be someone else.
