There'sa difference between dropping the ball, fumbling the ball and passing the ball (and then, in each case, retrieving the ball).
Dropping and Passing are intentional acts -- recovering the ball is a dribble (assuming the ball hits the floor).
Fumbling the ball is an Accidental act -- recovering the ball is always legal.
