What violation did he commit by grabbing it, if he didn't dribble again or travel?

I'm not arguing about the original post, never said it was a violation. This thread has merely caused us all to closely examine the rules regarding a dribble. Everybody knows (how do we know? I don't know, we just do) that it is a violation to touch the ball twice during a dribble without the ball hitting the floor in between. This is stated in the CASE BOOK. I want to know if there is anything in the RULE BOOK which tells us this is a violation. HAVE I OVERLOOKED SOMETHING OBVIOUS?
