4-44-3b is written such that the player has control the whole time. I don't think that it applies here.

Lastly, a fumble is not a dribble, so the play in which the ball is recovered after the player comes back down and the ball hit the floor is certainly not a travel.
Nevada, I ain't gonna change your mind obviously. May I suggest that you take this one to your state interpreter. You're wrong.
