Illegal dribble, traveling or nothing?
 
New official question. A1 dribbling goes to stop dribble and loses control of ball, not touched by defender, and recovers two to three steps away from where she tried to stop her dribble. What do you have? Thanks for any advice in advance.

Depending on exactly what happened, it's either an interrupted dribble or a fumble. Either way, it's legal for A1 to recover the ball.

If in the opinion of the referee, the player lost control of the ball, then there is nothing wrong with going and retreiving it. It is a legal play.

A1 can also continue the dribble as long as she does not pick it up while recovering it. I mean if it is still bouncing then she can continue in time withthe bounce. Like has been said it is legal to recover the interupted or fumbled dribble, and catching the ball would then plant her to the floor at that spot. (with a pivot of course).

bobref1 stated that the dribbler "goes to stop dribble and loses control of ball." If she touches the ball with both hands but loses player control, she can retrieve the ball. But the dribble has ended, so she cannot continue it.

Great point, Tony. :)

4.15.4 SITUATION D: While dribbling: (a) A1 bats the ball over the head of an opponent, runs around the opponent, bats the ball to the floor and continues to dribble; (b) the ball bounces away but A1 is able to get to it and continues to dribble; (c) the ball hits A1's foot and bounces away but A1 is able to overtake and pick it up; or (d) A1 fumbles the ball in ending the dribble so that A1 must run to recover it. RULING: Violation in (a), because the ball was touched twice by A1's hand(s) during a dribble, before it touched the floor. In (b), even though the dribble was interrupted it has not ended and A1 may continue the dribble. In (c), the dribble ended when A1 caught the ball; and it ended in (d) when it was fumbled. Even though the dribble has ended in (c) and (d), A1 may recover the ball. (9-5)
