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?

A. Legal play. That is a pass which has contacted another player.
B. Illegal. Since the touching by the opponent doesn't dislodge the ball from the player's grasp. The drop constitutes the start of a second dribble.
