kind of a cheap play- anything illegal about it. Player dribbles, goes for a shot either in air or on the ground and seeing it will get blocked tosses the ball against the defender and then gets the ball again after it hits.

Or offensive player while holding the ball, puts the ball out in front and makes contact so the defender hand or body touches the ball. But it is clearly not enough to knock it loose and the player drops the ball then begins a new dribble. Violation? Double dribble or traveling?
