Offensive player is driving baseline (dribbling the ball), he elevates off the floor and has no where to go. Before coming to the floor, he seems to realize he is going to violate, so he drops the ball to the floor. All of the players, thinking perhaps that he has violated, simply stop. The ball hits the floor and no one attempts to pick it up. After a second or two the same offensive player picks up the ball and attempts a shot at the basket.

It's a traveling violation as soon as the player touched the ball after dropping it. NFHS case book play 4.44.3SitB is almost the exact same play.

I'd call double dribble on the play above because the player had already dribbled. I would go with the travel as backed by the casebook play JR cited if the player had not yet used his dribble.
Either way it was a violation and your partner was not correct to allow the game to continue.
