Playing Devil's advocate
What is the basis of a violation call?
It would seem the strongest arguement for a violation would be an intentional kick. However, based on the information provided in the original post, it appears that this should not be ruled as an intentional kick.
Rule 4-29 Kicking the ball is intentionally (bold added) striking it with the knee or any part of the leg or foot below the knee.
This is definitely NOT a double dribble unless the player AGAIN attempts to dribble.
