Good! I disagree!

I have an interrupted dribble.

An interrupted dribble is when the ball momentarily gets away from the dribbler. The rule doesn't say that it has to be accidental. You can't convince me that the ball doesn't get away from him. When the ball is 10 to 30 feet away from him, it's away from him. No denying it. I really don't think this is intentional play, which makes it all the more easy for me to no call it.

Call this and I think you're looking for something to call.

IMHO
