Muffed Pass: Fumble or Pass

[divey]

I think you are confusing Rule 4-15-2 which states: During a dribble the ball may be batted into the air provided it is permitted to strike the floor before the ball is touched again with the hand(s).
The key word is DURING a dribble.
Maybe I misunderstood your statement but it sounds to me like you are stating a player could pass to himself pick up the ball and then pass to himself again as long as it hits the floor.
