1) Now you're just being silly and obviously egging this on.

How is an interrupted dribble "the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a player's grasp." A player who is dribbling is not grasping the ball. Okay, you got me...you're wrong and you know it.

2) LOL!

And the definition of a pass in R4-31 specifies "another player" too. It doesn't differentiate between a teammate and an opponent.
That's almost as funny as saying an interrupted dribble is a fumble.
