So if you are dribbling and you dribble it off your foot, you are ALWAYS doing it on purpose?
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.

The play in question is NOT an interrupted dribble, and I don't know how to make that any clearer.
If you caused the ball to go past the defender it did NOT get away from you.

You do not understand the definition of an interrupted dribble.
I'll say it again. It's neither intentional, accidental, or purposeful. It's simply whem the ball gets away from the dribbler, FOR WHATEVER REASON!!!!! I defy you to post a rule or case play that is contrary to those two statements.
BTW, emphasis mine.

I've already described two plays, you just choose not to notice.
I'll repeat them since you seem to have comprehension troubles.
The play in question, it is possible to dribble past a defender on one bounce just like ANY OTHER DRIBBLE. You have still not answered if you consider the full speed dribble, where the ball is pushed way out in front and the dribbler takes several steps between bounces, an interrupted dribble.
Every dribble has a time when the ball is away from the dribbler, an interrupted dribble occurrs if it STAYS away.
I love how you are all hung up on accidental and control, well excuse me, but both are a part of an interrupted dribble.
