Note the wording in 4-15. For the sake of this argument there are two separate ways the dribble can end.
4-15-1
a. .....catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both hands.
b. ....palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands.
I don't see where a could apply here. Not so sure about b. How long is too long? This guy goes basically all the way across the lane with the ball resting in his hand. Not saying I would or wouldn't call it, but I certainly think it is a legitimate point to ponder. If this guy had demonstrated the same move while adding a spin, I think a lot of us would call a violation.
