NOTE 2: A player is not dribbling while slapping the ball during a jump, when a pass rebounds from his/her hand, when he/she fumbles, or when he/she bats a rebound or pass away from other players who are attempting to get it. The player is not in control under these conditions.
Does that help you at all?

It sure does - thanks! I'm still amazed that saving the ball can be considered the start of a dribble, but I guess the key distinction there is that the player has firmly grasped the ball before flinging it back on court - in all other cases the ball has not been grasped, so whether or not the player has controlled the ball can be questionable.
