This should be called a held ball. I missed this call tonight. I usually get this call right, but for some reason, didn't blow the whistle. Got jawcramp or braincramp. The player recovered the ball and shot again, got the rebound and missed another shot. The visiting team then drained a 3 and the H coach was drilling me for not calling a foul. He said,"that was a 5 point swing". I told him I missed a held ball but there was no foul on the play.
In the case above, it is traveling if they are the first to touch the ball. You can't start a dribble with both feet off the floor. Unless you catch the ball while airborn.
