Not to be overly anal about this, but 4-43 says nothing about player control being relinquished. Dribbling DOES NOT relinquish control - it is one of the only two ways a player may be in control (4-12-1). Dribbling is the way you may legally move (both feet - and return them to the floor - for you equally anal types!) while in control. And it is differentiated from try or pass because you may not lift the pivot foot before dribbling. And with a try or pass, you do relinquish control.
