A player is dribbling the ball. He then comes to a stop and tries to catch the ball with both hands. The ball is touched by both hands but is not controlled. The ball then falls to the ground. Can the player retrieve the ball and if so can he advance it?
Scenario 2:
A player is dribbling the ball. He then comes to a stop and catches the ball with both hands. He tries to then pass the ball but in the middle of the passing motion he decides to stop. When he tries to stop the passing motion, the ball is no longer in his grasp and is in contact with neither hand. If he catches the ball in midair, is this a violation? If the ball falls to the ground, can the player retrieve it? After he retrieves it can he advance it?

1) The player can recover their own fumble but they can't dribble again. The dribble ended when the dribbler touched it with both hands.
2) Again, he can catch his fumble in the air or retrieve it after it hit the court, but he can't dribble again.
