started a dribble?

[SNIPERBBB]

ART. 1

A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times. It is not a part of a dribble when the ball touches a player's own backboard.

There is (or was; I forget whether it's still in there) some clause the the effect that "it is not a dribble when a player is batting the ball away from opponents"

The statement is found in the NFHS Case Book 4.15 COMMENT . . . "A player is not dribbling while slapping the ball during a jump, when a pass rebounds from his/her hand, when he/she fumbles, or when he/she bats a rebound or pass away from other players who are attempting to get it. The player is not in control under these conditions. . ."
