My rulebook doesn't show anything in R9-5 to definitively back up what you're alleging.

Woody, Woody, Woody....c'mon buddy, you know better than that.
4-15-4 tells us that a dribble ends when:
The dribbler catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both hands.
The dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands.
The dribbler simultaneously touches the ball with both hands.
An opponent bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) the ball.
The ball becomes dead.
None of those things happened in this play. We don't need a rule that tells us when it DOESN'T end. You know that.
