Please cite rulebook/casebook reference.

4-15-4 Note 3: "...It is not a dribble when a player stands still and holds the ball and touches the floor once or more than once."
I do not have my book. I found a thread from years past. Same question, so I just copied and pasted.
Mick, it was your answer.
