If the ball was still in the air when the player retrieved it, it is a violation. If the ball hit the floor, then it is part of a dribble. If they catch it, then dribble again, that would be another violation.

Bingo!
It doesn't meet the definition of a "fumble" either. That leaves a dribble as the only alternative.
