Rule clarification: Is this double dribble?
As a scenario: If an player is dribbling on offence, the defensive player comes in and prods the ball loose making the ball leave the hands of the offensive player. The offensive player scrambles to get the ball back, and in doing so, taps/hits the ball to his advantage with TWO hands. Is this considered a double dribble? Technically, there was no "control" of the dribble as the offence player was tapping to his own advantage. Or does this rule apply regardless of whether control was there or not?
