2nd Video: Fumble, shuffle, gather, one" power dribble" (very difficult to see - the ball between the ballhandlers legs).
So, if the C didn't see the dribble, or thought the ballhandler had his pivot foot off the floor when he dribbled, he could justify the travel call.
The timing of his whistle seems to indicate that he didn't make the call at the time of the fumble.
