I said no violation as it's an extension of his 'fumble'
Tail end of fumble dribble fumble adage?
Didn't find answer in 4-44 or 9-4

What you have is an interrupted dribble (see 4-15-5) and by definition there is no player control during an interrupted dribble. The question to ask yourself is can a player travel when there is not player control?
Player can legally recover the ball on the floor providing they don't violate the provisions of 4-44-5-b
