Would calling it a "loss of control" during the dribble keep the player from a violation

A loss of control during a dribble is an interrupted dribble. In this case the player may recover the ball and continue the dribble.

By "recover", do you mean that the player can catch the ball (hold it)?

Obviously not. That would end the dribble. But you knew that.

Well, I asked because the word "recover", when used on tests, generally means to catch the ball. I didn't really think that's what you meant, but just wanted to clarify.

But you knew that.

I thought about that, but when used with the phrase "and continue the dribble," I thought this would get the message across.
