Traveling is moving a foot or feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits while holding the ball.

Once I make a judgment that the player is in control of the ball, then I've got rule support. N'est-ce pas?

Ah, no, you don't. Because once he's neither holding nor dribbling it, there is no player control.

Ah, no, as player control is defined in the rule book. Controlled manner is something you've just made up.
