It doesn't sound like this (original post) is an interrupted dribble:
NFHS 4-15-5: An interrupted dribble occurs when the ball is loose after deflecting
off the dribbler or after it momentarily gets away from the dribbler. There is no
player control during an interrupted dribble.
This tells me that it was not an interrupted dribble:
The ball obviously didn't deflect off the dribbler, and it sounds like it did not momentarily gets away from the dribbler.
Thank God for NFHS 9-3-Note in this day in age when everyone is videotaping everything. "But he wasn't touching the ball when his foot touched the boundary."

Sure, it momentarily got away from the dribbler, nothing requires this to be accidental or against his will.
Interrupted dribble.
