Illegal Dribble? I do not recall what the consensus ruling was on the forum.

Without the video, I am envisioning the ball going upwards perhaps towards the rim/backboard since the player then jumped up to try to tip it in. If so, the player simply botched a try for goal and the subsequent touching is perfectly legal.

No, this was about a 16 foot jump shot.
