No, it doesn't peclude anything. If it said the player "accidentally lets the ball get away," or "player accidentally gives up control," you'd be correct. There's nothing in that statement that precludes intent; except to you.
Players intentionally give up control all the time on plays where the ball goes precisely where they intended it to go.
