I have a question on a traveling violation or possible carrying/palming violation.
IS the move being taught in this video at 3:33 a traveling or carrying violation?

I feel that it violates this rule:
"The dribble ends when the dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands."
Even though he doesn't put his hand under the ball, I believe the ball "came to rest" in one hand as he took extra steps without dribbling the basketball again.
The argument I've received from other coaches and referees is that the dribble ends when the player puts the second hand on the ball. I believe this is just ONE WAY to terminate a dribble, not the only way.
If that was the rule for terminating the dribble, players could LEGALLY take five steps on a lay up, if they could perfect keeping their hand on the side of the ball while running.
Thoughts?
