The holding of the ball is a clearly written parameter, as is the standing still.
Should the ball be allowed to be picked up? I think, yes.
Should the ball be allowed to be dribbled? I think not.
References ? My gut.

I agree. Placing the ball down on the floor, letting go, and then touching it again has to be considered a dribble.
It's one reason that I've never liked the ruling in the final sentence of 4.44.5 Sit B.
