Dude, what's the problem? Everything you've been told is correct.
If you want to know the difference in a dribble and an interrupted dribble, it's this.
There is no player control during an interrupted dribble. An interrupted dribble
is not a dribble. A player who is not in control of the ball cannot cause the ball to go OOB, unless he touches OOB while touching the ball or the ball goes OOB.
Whether the player intentionally allows the ball to get away from him or if it happens accidentally, is not an issue. It's still an interrupted dribble.
The play is legal. The key is that there is no player control. It's no different than 7.1.1B.
