If that is the only part of the definition you consider, then a pass is also a dribble, a try is also a dribble, tapping a jump ball is also a dribble, grabbing a rebound is also a dribble...there's going to be a heckuva lot of illegal dribble violations in that game.
Fortunately, the
actual definition limits the universe of possible ball movements to two specific ones: batting or pushing the ball to the floor.
