In NFHS rules book language a drop is a dribble. The NFHS wrote a play several years ago in which a player dropped the ball to the floor. This was deemed a purposeful action and NOT a fumble which is accidental loss of control when the ball slips from the player's grasp.
BTW the C's explanation is complete doo-doo. Just because a player doesn't have an opponent nearby doesn't mean the ball can't accidentally slip out of his hands.
