You're right. It can't be travelling, because travelling is defined as "moving the pivot foot in excess of prescribe limits while holding the ball" (paraphrased -- I'm away from my books.)

It also can't be an illegal dribble, because a dribble is defines as "batting the ball to the floor one or more times."

So, it must be a legal play.
