I mean he puts up a one-footer from 3 feet out? Who plans that move? I feel it was a legal play based on the fact that you are allowed to recover, as another poster says, either the fumble or shot attempt. Is the NCAA ruling here the same as NFHS?

Legal? Really? Travel or Illegal Dribble, I can see points for either, but not legal. I really don't think this was an accidental loss of control. His line to the bucket was cut off and he let go of the ball. Even if it was truly accidental, it doesn't look like it and you'll be a lot better off calling the travel/illegal dribble in this case.
