The two plays you refer to deal with a player whose first intention was clearly not to dribble. The plays I am trying to describe involve a player who undeniably is starting a dribble which happens to be illegal. A slow whistle is okay with me, on this play or any play, but I fail to see how a whistle when the ball hits the floor in the plays I described can be considered wrong. In any case, if you consider the two case play rulings to be opposite, how could either interpretation be totally wrong?
