I would have to say this is a double dribble. It's certainly not a shot (try), because the definition for a try is an attempt to throw the ball in the players own basket (which in this case didn't happen). Since a dribble ends when a player catches the ball with two hands (which presumedly happens here after the faux "shot"), I'd have a violation if they dribble again.
Sorry for lack of rule numbers, but I don't have-a de book, boss.
