This is easy, because I actually had this in a game Saturday, and I posted a question about it on the Forum. There is still team control, but not player control, during an interrupted dribble. That's why we can call a three second violation during an interrupted dribble.

Note: The rocket science title was not meant to be mean spirited, I just wanted to convey that inadvertent whistles are usually very easy to remedy. Should I go back and change the title? It does seem little harsh, especially coming from me.
