I'm never sure about anything . . .
I was basing what I said on these rules:
Fundamental Rule #6: "It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble."
4-15 Art. 4: The dribble ends when: (a, b) the dribbler catches the ball or causes or allows it to come to rest in his hand or hands; (c) the dribbler simultaneously touches the ball with both hands; (d) the dribbler loses control because the ball touches or is touched by an opponent; (e) the ball becomes dead [e.g. out-of-bounds; team control foul; time expires]
4-15 Art. 2: you may bat the ball into the air during a dribble if you allow it to hit the floor before touching it again.
So I think it could be OK or not.
