A single push to the floor, by definition, constitutes a dribble. It is unnecessary for anything else to happen. Judgment.
4-15-3: The dribble may be started by pushing, throwing or batting the ball to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted.

4-31: A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball to another player.

A single push to the floor, by definition, constitutes a pass if the ball goes to another player. It is unnecessary for anything else to happen. Judgment.

The only "judgment" needed is to wait and see what happens, and then make the call by the rules.
