So in the play described I would consider the play was legal but if the player then dribbled, or repeated the rolling the ball one the floor, it would also be a violation, i.e. a double dribble.
I'm sorry but that makes no sense whatsoever. First, you say it's a pass, then you say it's the same as a dribble. You said there's no player control, but there is PC during a dribble. The definition of a pass is throwing or rolling the ball to a teammate. How is rolling the ball to yourself a pass?

So which is it, a pass, or a dribble?
