I see that, and it's obviously a very good point. My only point in my original post was that it's the retrieving which causes the violation. Up until the time it's retrieved, it could either be considered a pass or a dribble. If his teammate touches it first, then it was obviously a pass. But if he retrives it himself, then it was obviously a dribble and therefore a violation.
Maybe instead of saying the retrieving of the pass constitutes the dribble, I should've said that the retrieving causes the violation.
Nevertheless, I think mick needs to throw that nit back. It's not big enough to keep
