Change His Mind ...

Looked at it again. Did he really fumble the ball, or did he change his mind and decide not to shoot?

Do either of these (from the Misunderstood Rules List) apply?

When an airborne player tries for goal, sees that the try will be blocked, purposely drops the ball, and touches the ball after it hits the floor, that player has traveled by starting a dribble with the pivot foot off the floor. When an airborne shooter fumbles the ball (while still in the air) instead of releasing the ball on a try, drops the ball, and then returns to the floor and secures possession of the ball, it’s a traveling violation.
