The case play refers to the
start of a dribble. The player did not start the dribble legally as per rule 4-15-1. Iow, a "dribble"
per se never actually happened. You gotta hit the floor to meet the definition of a "dribble". In the OP, the play being discussed happened
during a legal dribble.
Apples and poi.
