Bktballref and all please look at this

[Self]

I am in agreement. It is a violation whether traveling or illegal dribble it is a violation. I have said that in all the above.

Jurassic Ref and Bktballref have said it was a legal play.

The holding verbage was semantics. I do not feel teh rules book needs to provide every word for holding for me to understand controlling the ball. I am holding it if it is at rest between my knees, I am holding it if I am resting it in my palm, I am holding it away from my opponent if a am tapping the ball from left hand to right hand. I am controlling the ball and the play described is a violation.
