Your response helps. I find the situation difficult to discribe, but as I have thought more about the way it occured it probably was a travel. When the player lost control of the ball(off the dribble - the ball was probably shoulder high) the player went to retrieve the ball and in doing so they had their hand on the top of the ball and then took a couple of steps before they were able to control the ball again and re-start their dribble. In that sense I believe that it is a travel since the ball was resting in one hand of the player (even though it wasn't a carry). I would love to have seen a replay, but that isn't possible at this point. In the future I will have to take more care to identify the travel.
