Right on the important thing part. However, the only way to travel without the ball is to secure the ball while not standing, release the ball, then re-secure the ball after standing, without anyone else having touched the ball during this process. (There has to be a shorter way to write that.)
I called the OP an illegal dribble, it is actually an illegal start of a dribble.
(I am going by memory, correct if needed.)
