violation?

A1 has the ball on the dribble. A1 picks up the ball and is being pressured by B1. A1 pivots and drops the ball (appeared to be inadvertent), takes 2 steps and regains control of the ball.....any violation?

You can always pick up a fumble. It would only be a violation if the player dribbled again. If the ball was knocked out of the hand of A1, then A1 could dribble again.

That's what I thought...but....what if the player intentionally drops it...?

If the ball was intentionally dropped, then that is a controlled act and this is a dribble. In this case, it would be a second dribble, thus a violation.

If the ball unintentionally slips from the player's grasp, that is a fumble and the player may recover the ball without penalty.
