He pick up his dribble and A)as he headfakes toward hoop, ball slips from his hand up into the air, or B)he pivots and just accidentally drops the ball. In these two cases, can he retrive the ball without a violation? I believe he can, but in pickup games, most players always call either travel or double dribble.
JLC,
Yup, in both cases, the player may legally retrieve the ball, but will still get wrongly called for a travel 75% of the time.
