When a ball is INTENTIONALLY tapped by a player or "rolled" along the floor it constitutes a dribble. In this case once the player tapped the ball forward he used his "dribble" to get the ball from point A of the tap to point B where he then picked it up. He can gain control but he simply canNOT dribble. He can make a pass from the spot where he picks the ball up, he obviously can pivot but he cant dribble, that would constitute a violation-Double Dribble.
