A1, who is holding the ball, is being guarded by B1. He tosses the ball over B1's head, runs around B1, and a) catches the ball and then begins to dribble, or b) allows the ball to hit the floor and then dribbles.
In a), we have traveling. He didn't fumble the ball. He threw a pass to himself. Had he allowed the ball to hit the floor, instead of catching or touching the ball, it could have legally dribbled as he did in b).

With catching, though, isn't the player holding the ball?
BTW, my case book reference was from last year's book - A1 tapped the ball over B1's head, and then started dribbling.
