I haven't seen this before. It looked like a pass to himself. What would your decision have been if you were reffing? Travel or two points?
There's no such animal as a "pass to himself." Read the defintion of a pass. It's throwing the ball to a teammate. As Camron said, it's simply the start of a dribble.
