You said it yourself. He dropped the ball. This is a travelling violation.

I don't care how you twist your way into it, dropping does not equal throwing, pushing, or batting.
I have never seen a player drop the ball and not obviously expect his teammate to come get it. The fact is, there is no way to know what he's trying to do when he drops it. So, I'm going to assume it's a pass until something happens to tell me otherwise (such as him being the first to touch it after he releases the ball).
