The fact that B did not complete the steal of the ball is immaterial - I'd have no call in either case.

If the player catches dribble by putting hand under ball (i.e. carries) and then pushes ball out of hand to floor there is no violation unless player touches ball after release. Who is to say player wasn't going to pass ball??
So I have no call.
