Yes i agree that is the point, the start of the dribble. There is nothing in the rule about not being allow to rest the ball on the floor. I guess if the official determines he pushed to ball vs letting the ball gravitate to the floor then you could have a start of a dribble. Which brings the play of a player diving to the floor grabbing the ball for control, then resting the ball on the floor, then getting up, then grabbing the ball again. What do you call?
