I'm thinking this would be an illegal dribble as we are considered part of the floor. But at the same time, if an errant pass hits off of us, any player can retrieve the ball. This was not an errant pass, from situation described, it was a deliberate play.
Two officials have said this play is legal.

In the rule book, is there any difference between an errant pass and a deliberate pass?
And where in the rule book does it say any player can retrieve an errant pass that hits off an official?
