My whole argument is not based on a case play, but on the definition of a dribble: a player.......pushes the ball to the floor once or several times.

When the ball hits the floor, that can be considered a dribble whether it touches the player's hand again or not. What it the defender slaps the ball out of bounds on its return flight straight up toward the illegal dribbler's hand?
You gonna give the ball back to the offense, citing "That might have been a pass."
