But hard to call because they are spinning away or towards the official and you see the end of it or the beginning and can be hard to call. But spin moves like this are rarely done legally.

Agree. If the foot that is down when the ball is picked up is moved, it is a travel. In this case, and many, the foot on which they spin is the final plant foot for the shot (in a new location) which makes it a travel.
If the foot they're spinning on ends up somewhere else, it is 99%+ odds it is a travel. On a fumble of he ball is the exception. It is 100% impossible to spin the ball from one side of your body to the other without ending the dribble....the ball has come to rest in the hand in doing so.
