You can't have a violation until the shooter has possession/control of the ball...so by fumble, are you referring to the player not catching the ball cleanly when bounced to him/her? If so, no violation...if we are talking about the kid who catches the ball, dribbles it twice, then looks at hoop while holding ball in both hands, then dribbles a third time and it goes off his/her foot and h/she steps over the line - well, that's a different story...
