this is a true fumble, but it is giving the player an advantage to get nearer. But nothing against the rules so apparently legal. The one I had was not a fumble down. it 'squirmed' upward.
Just imagine, dribbling with your left hand, then you see that you will start to commence the shot, so your right hand comes over. You will be taking a step then jumping for the layup. So at this point two hands on the ball so travel/pivot rule in effect, but then right after the grab the ball goes up in the air a little bit. The player takes an extra step during this phase to regain control and then goes for the shot.
Would be an unusual play, it just would look awkward and I'm sure there would be a lot of people yelling for travel.
