Agree. "Gather", as is it is often used, is often referring to a point that is actually after the end of the dribble. Gather is typically used to describe a ball being secured in both hands or otherwise pulled into the body. But that is not how the end of a dribble is defined at any level. By definition, the dribble ends when the ball comes to rest in ONE or BOTH hands.

So, when a player gets one hand under the ball such that another dribble would be a carry, the dribble has ended and travel rules are in effect at that moment.
