It appears to me, the Fed is considering Case 7.1.1D to be an interrupted dribble which makes the case book correct as written. The ball has momentarily gotten away from the dribbler. If not, he would still be holding the ball when he goes OB.
KajunRef and the M'er got it right. The toss to save the ball is the start of an interrupted dribble. That's where you got confused imo, John.
