Did I See The Mythbusters Searchlight Image In The Sky ???

A little off topic, but just a reminder:

There is no three-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. There is no three-second count during a throwin. There is no three-second count while the ball is in the backcourt. There is a three-second count during an interrupted dribble.

Is there a rule or case play indicating this is illegal? Since no one came up this one that did not include OOB violation, which 6d says is excluded, I chalk this up to a minor error in the rules.

Consider the definition of an interrupted dribble. "the ball is loose" or "it momentarily gets away from the dribbler." When the dribbler touches the ball, it is no longer an interrupted dribble, so the out of bounds violation does apply.
