Yep, and I love how he definitively stated that you can't do that. He was so sure of himself. I'm starting to wonder if all TV announcers are sent to a training school which instructs them to act like this whenever they don't have a clue. I'll admit that don't know the specifics of the NBA rules, but I can say that it wouldn't be a double dribble in NFHS.
4-15-4 NOTE 3: It is a dribble when a player stands still and bounces the ball. It is not a dribble when a player stands still and holds the ball and touches it to the floor once or more than once.

He might realize his mistake after his partner seemed to raise his voice to interrupt and cover up the embarrasment.
He did not make the same comment when someone else touched the floor with the ball in hand soon after. At least he still can learn.
