Interesting. I always interpreted that to mean the limitations on dribbling don't apply....that a player isn't required to do so legally. But, that it was still a dribble when a player is bouncing the ball but can't commit a dribbling (or traveling) violation.
It is just semantics and we get to the same spot either way, but I've just thought about it differently.
