illegal dribble?
With 5:15 left to go in the 2nd half of the Michigan SD St game a player #34 from SD St with the ball jumps in the air and realizes his shot is going to be blocked. He lets the ball fall to his side and does not touch it while it remains bouncing he is called for an illegal dribble. Is this the correct call? Maybe somebody has the video.

Technically, yes. The dribble starts the moment it is released. If it is a dribble, it is a violation at that moment.
However, in practice, until someone again touches it, you can't know if it was a pass (touched by a different player) or a dribble (touched by the same player). Once the same player touches it again, it confirms that it was a dribble but the violation actually occurred when the ball was released.

Actually what it would be is a travel, for releasing the ball to begin a dribble after lifting the pivot foot.

If a player drops the ball straight to the floor, another player is not involved. Therefore, in my judgment, this is not a pass. By default, it becomes a dribble, which, in this case, is a violation.

This official calls the violation which was created by the good defense.

I didn't say that play was or was not a dribble...just that "a" dribble starts the moment it is released and if it was a dribble, it is a violation. It is one or the other at the moment it is released. There is no other option...it isn't a fumble, it isn't an interrupted dribble, it isn't being held. It may not always be possible to tell what it is at that moment but that doesn't meant it isn't one or the other. The subsequent action only determines was it was all along...all the way back to the moment it was released. It doesn't magically become a pass/dribble when it is next touched, it just makes it clear.
