Let me just answer that by saying if you release the ball and are the first to touch it ... you didn't pass it at all. I guess it's true that you can't be the first to touch your own pass ... because if you are it wasn't a pass.

Also, merely directing a ball that you don't have control of isn't anything at all (like the tip, or the save from OOB).
