Bob, I think we may not be envisioning the same thing. I read it to be: player went up, losing ball on way up, ball went straight up into the air (shot or fumble), player returned to the floor then re-jumped into air and secured the ball. Once the player lifts his pivot foot he may do anything except return it to the floor with the ball in his control, which would include fumbling the ball and subsequently retrieving it.
