If he passed it, by rule, it's an illegal dribble when he touches it again.

Had a different take on this last night. A1 driving the baseline and loses control of the ball as he jumps up for the shot. Ball comes out of his hands about 2 feet. He grabs it and comes back down. Then starts dribbling again. I whistled a double dribble but his coach wanted nothing, stating that no control on the shot. I reasoned that he fumbled the ball before getting an actual shot off. Probably a HTBT, but curious if I was on the right track.
