In the scenario which you have just described the player is permitted to dribble without penalty.
Don't get confused by bob j's post. He was responding to my setup which had the player purposely releasing the ball rather than it slipping from his grasp. In that case, if the ball hit the floor and then he retreived it, that would constitute his dribble and he would not be permitted another one.
