NFHS 4-15-1: A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats ( intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times.
The Forum is a great learning tool. I've been officiating for twenty-seven years, and up until a few minutes ago, I would have called an illegal dribble in this situation.
Didn't we have a similar question a few weeks ago about a similar pass that accidently strikes a teammate and bounces back to the first player? Was it decided that this was illegal?
