But tony, you left out "Note 3" from the dribble definition:

". . .It is not a dribble when a player stands still and holds the ball and touches it to the floor once or more than once."

Chuck,
When the dribbler touches the ball to the floor, I have always thought the player is not releasing the ball to the floor.
... The player is still holding.

i think the key word in the situation is release.

I hate to be a nit-picker, but I would respectfully submit that the key word is "to", as in "release to the floor". Simply releasing the ball is not at issue. A dribble is batting or releasing the ball to the floor. Releasing the ball when the ball is already on the floor is not releasing the ball to the floor. Because of this, it can't be a dribble. So it can't be a double dribble to pick up the ball and start dribbling in this situation.

I still have nothing.
