You spin and the dribble does not come with you, you are ALWAYS doing it on purpose?
There are many cases where the rule book does not spell out EXACTLY the intent of the rule, and to say an interrupted dribble is always a purposeful act is flat out wrong.
Cite where it says an interrupted dribble is a purposeful act. Show where it says deliberately deflecting or purposely losing the ball.

Dude, that's the fricking point! That's what I've been trying to tell you!
An interrupted dribble is NEITHER intentional, purposeful, or accidental.
It's simply a situation where the ball momentarily gets away from the dribbler. It doesn't matter whether it's intentional, purposeful, or accidental.
It doesn't matter how or why it happened. It's simply an ID.
I don't know how to make that any clearer.
