I agree. But, I had a discussion with a partner about this a week ago who said she saw a player pin the ball (clumsily) to her leg. I told her I didn't see it, but to me, via her description, it sounded like the dribble had ended. From there, it's possible she could travel (illegal), simply stop moving (pivot foot established and no travel = legal), or fumble.

I wouldn't overthink this. Ask yourself, "did the dribble end?" and go from there.
