The reason I ask this is that I see players do this all the time, but rarely see a violation called. Is this considered a fumble or interrupted dribble or something?

If the the ball hits the dribbler leg than you have an interrupted dribble. If the ball comes to rest on a knee or hip since the dribble is not continous you could call a double dribble.
