but previously you mentioned what happens after the player "drops" the ball doesn't really matter it can still be treated as a start of a new dribble when the ball bounces the floor, whether or not the same player touches the ball after the bounce, the case you are referring to is clearly a double dribble. but we were talking about player getting called for double dribble just by dropping/bouncing the ball on the ground without touching the ball after the bounce.
