If the ball doesn't hit the floor then you havn't dribbled, so if he changes his mind and still somehow manages to catch the ball again, that's not a dribble.
But that also means he has to watch his feet since moving the pivot foot is a travel

Losing the ball is a fumble. Batting the ball to the floor is the start of a dribble. They're covered by completely different rules.
