Can the player go get the ball or is it travelling?

Is it different if the player dribbled then stopped and tried to pass and lost the ball or if he just caught a pass and then tried to pass and lost the ball?
If he has not used his dribble, he can go get it either way. If he has used his dribble you must decide if it is a fumble or a lousy pass. The fumble he may recover. The lousy pass he may not.
