The Double Dribble

[Adam]

If it's out of his hands, and bounces off of another player, he gets a new dribble. I hate to tell you this, but your the one trying to create a gray area and use logic where it's not necessary.
In order to have control, you have to either be holding or dribbling it. When he bounces it off of you, he does neither. The ball doesn't even have to touch the floor.
Sorry, but your friend is right.
