No, it isn't.
A fumble and an interrupted dribble are not the same thing, so you can't say "...what have you..."
There is no player control during an interrupted dribble.
There is player control during a dribble.
Just because the player re-establishes the dribble does not mean the interrupted dribble didn't happen.

This is not a double dribble or an OOB violation.
I was stating that an int. dribble/fumble were the same for the purpose that player control is terminated. Thanks for the clarification that the two are not the same. I am not disputing the fact that the player can not cause the ball to be OOB during an int dribble. They cannot during a fumble for that matter. What I am asking is it legal for a player to have an interrupted dribble OR fumble, Go OOB around a defender in legal position and

A. recover the ball.
B. continue to dribble.
