When do the ball comes to rest

Have a question, not sure about it.

Ball is passed, it is unaccurate and lands in a square beside the intended catcher. Ball bounce to catcher that catches ball. Is it a turn-over?

Have always played as long as it touches ground, not in air it's a turn-over.

It's only a turn-over* if the ball doesn't end up in the hands of a player on the moving team - doesn't matter how it get's there. The ball could even scatter off the pitch and be thrown in by the crowd.

* Obviously, a Fumble is a turn-over, even if it does end up in a player's hands.
