That's what's confusing JAR and me.
For a rebound/throwin....

Is the start of a dribble considered during a dribble. I was leaning towards it not being a violation but I think I'm changing my mind.

Consider the wording of the 3-points clause for backcourt violations where it mentions "during a dribble from backcourt to frontcourt". To me, that implies that the dribble was already underway in the backcourt. In this case, it is not. So I believe PC and TC have begun on the push towards the floor giving the ball frontcourt status and the and the exception doesn't apply since it is not a dribble from backcourt to frontcourt.
