Well, 4-dribble does say, I think, that the dribble begins when the ball is batted to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted. (someone check my recollection on this)

So, I guess one interp would be that if there is no pivot foot to be potentially lifted, there can be no dribble.

But, that interp would be wrong.
