It depends on what the player was doing when they lost control of the ball and what they did to control it. Was the player in an active dribble when he lost cortrol of the ball? Was the player holding the ball at the time of losing control? Did the player stop a dribble?

In order to answer this question, there has to be some more information given. And there is judgement that plays apart in this too.
