Insisting that it's impossible to begin a pass, change one's mind, and then fumble the ball - thus ruling anything remotely like the OP an illegal dribble - is the call of least resistance. It will keep coaches, fans, players off your back... but it won't impress your supervisors should they see this or hear of it.
You decide what kind of official you'd rather be.
I would think that even after 15 years, one can still learn. The day I know everything in any sport is the day I should hang 'em up.
