No way I'm allowing that play in one of my games. Have to imagine that some sort of unfair advantage would be gained there.

There is nothing unfair unless the rules are violated. My point is that it does not look like the dribble ends. You cannot call it a violation if nothing illegal is done. It is only a violation if the ball comes to rest in the hand of the dribbler and it does not look like that is at all possible with the hand on top of the ball. And like others have said, you need to review the rules on this one. You seem to be saying it is illegal simply because you do not like the action. That is not why we call violations or fouls. We have to have some rules basis for those calls. And this looks very suspect to call a violation. And if you nitpick it too, you better call every little "looks funny" action or dribble.
