What if he is dribbling and the ball gets trapped between his torso and hand for a brief moment, then he continues his dribble (This could be done while moving or standing still)? Violation?
Thanks

Fan, there's only one way a player can travel without HOLDING the ball. He's on the floor holding the ball, puts the ball on the floor, stands up and picks it up. That's traveling, as the player is circumventing the rule.
No matter other "what if" you come up with, it's not traveling unless he's holding the ball.

...one more goofy exception....Player throws ball into air and runs to catch it before it hits the ground (and was not a shot).
