Your situation has him dribble, fumble, then recover. Ugly but no call.

Not wanting to hijack, but offer another situation regarding travel or not ...

A big girl, not used to handling the ball, loses control as she attempts to end her dribble in the frontcourt. As she is earnestly attempting to grab the loose ball (which never hits the court), her feet shuffle before gaining control. She makes a successful pass to her team mate, I've got ugly but no call and the opposing coaches wanted a travel. In post game, observer stated that this play needed to be called a travel. What am I missing?
