The NCAA case play is A.R. 200. This ruling is identical in FED. Illegal Dribble.

I have used the following as a rule of thumb -
There is only one way to travel without the ball: A1 having secured the ball while laying or setting on the floor (not standing), then releases the ball, stands up, then picks up the ball, all this with no other players touching the ball.

But A.R. 200 Includes another possibility in sitch 1.
Is FED and NCAA in agreement?

If a player passes the ball and retrieves the pass, that is considered a dribble.

• If the player has not dribbled yet and does not lift his/her pivot prior to releasing the ball then it's a legal play.
• If the player lifts his/her pivot foot (ie: jump) prior to releasing the ball it is a travel for lifting one's pivot prior to dribbling.
• If the player has already completed a dribble prior to this action then it's an illegal dribble.
