If you're going to call this because he takes too many steps between dribbles, I'll say it again, you're going to have to call a lot of point guards for traveling on fast breaks. They'll have their hand on the ball for the same amount of time as this guy, and they're running while they do it.
I've rescinded the traveling argument. I would call a violation because to me, as I said, the ball comes to rest in his hand.
