For instance, is it like bouncing it off another player and you are free and clear to dribble again?
Or is it "nothing" (as if it never happened) so that a player would commit a double-dribble violation if he/she bounced the ball to the floor again?

DRIBBLE RULE
9.5 SITUATION: A1 dribbles and comes to a stop after which he/she throws
the ball against: (a) his/her own backboard; (b) the opponent’s backboard; or (c)
an official and catches the ball after each. RULING: Legal in (a); a team’s own
backboard is considered part of that team’s “equipment” and may be used. In (b)
and (c), A1 has violated; throwing the ball against an opponent’s backboard or an
official constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it
strikes the official or the board. (4-4-5; 4-15-2; Fundamental 19)
