It is judgment about whether it is a dribble or could be a pass.
Definition of a dribble says ".....a player in control....pushes the ball to the floor once or several times."
By definition it is not necessary for the player to touch the ball again.

Disagree. By definition of a "pass", you are wrong imo.
The definition of a "pass" under rule 4-31 is met if the player
doesn't touch the ball again after first pushing it to the floor and a teammate is the next player to touch it.
It is a judgment call, but if you lay off the whistle to see the play develop, the play calls itself. Player who pushed the ball to the floor touches it first again----> dribble. Player pushes it to the floor and a teammate touches it first----> pass.
Would you automatically call a bounce pass to a teammate a dribble?
