I'm counting that every time.

How do you know that he wasn't gathering his dribble to pass?
In my opinion, simply gathering the dribble is not enough. The official needs to see some kind of habitual motion that is part of the shooting action prior to the release of a try in order to award FTs.
Just what I take from the rules.
