Your choice.

How could it be an illegal dribble?

Ended a dribble, threw the ball to the floor, touched the ball again.

I see no way to consider contact between the ball and the leg a dribble. It's either a kick or nothing.

For sake of argument, let's say the ball hit him in the stomach.

First dribble ended. ball flipped to floor with spin. When the same player is the first to contact the ball--with anything---that turns the flip into a dribble. you are right..hitting the leg isn't a dribble. but that is what makes the flip a dribble.

4.15 something and 9.5. These are the plays where a player ends a dribble, then throws ball against official or opponents backboard. case play says doing either is another dribble "provided..he is first to touch it."

Here, tossing it to the floor after the first dribble ended...is another dribble "provided the player first to touch it.."

If another player touches it first, the flip to the floor becomes a pass.
that's how i get there.

The rule doesn't say he can't touch the ball again, it says that he can't dribble it again, and dribbling involves the hands.

9-5: A player shall not dribble a second time after his/her first dribble has ended …

4-15-1: 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.
