I'm pretty sure this would be considered an accidental loss of control, a fumble. We have guidelines for fumbles in these kinds of situations. NCAA has a case play for an inbounder who fumbles the ball, which bounces outside of a designated spot. Blow the whistle and re-administer.

NFHS has a case play for a free thrower who fumbles the ball into the lane. Blow the whistle and re-administer.

This case, IMHO, would be handled similarly.
