It's not a dribble to touch the ball to the floor while holding it. There's a specific sentence to that effect right in one of the rules -- someone with a rules book will be along shortly to post it, I'm sure.

NFHS rule 4-15-4NOTE3- "It is a dribble when a player stands still and bounces the ball. It is not a dribble when a player stands still and touches it to the floor once or more than once".
Does this mean that I'm Bob's caddy?
