2002-03 rule change.
Three second restrictions remain in effect during an interrupted dribble (9-7): This rule change deletes the requirement for the three-second count to be terminated during an interrupted dribble. By rule, team control remains in effect during an interrupted dribble, therefore the three-second restrictions should still apply. Also, by definition, an interrupted dribble occurs when the ball is "loose." Team control continues (as does the three-second restriction) during a loose ball. Therefore, the rules applying to a loose ball and an interrupted dribble should be the same.
The sentence in the 2001-02 book which was deleted was
"The count shall not begin or it shall be terminated during an interrupted dribble."
If you weren't officiating back then there is no way that you could know this from looking at the current rules book.
