This is not a violation becasue the rule book says so, rule 4.

Now, I think we are all able to realize that a dribble is very different from releasing the ball toward the court.

I guess it boils down to this... Does the rule book say a player can't dribble during the inbounds sequence?? I have never seen it, so let it go, it is legal.
