When I paused this at the right moment, I see his right hand free of the ball after he jumped. While the second hand isn't necessary, I don't honestly think he was holding the ball in this case until he got the 2nd hand there. I just don't see enough control with the left hand in this play to warrant a call.

Now I need a Dos Equis.

Yes, but how did he get the ball up there? It didn't just bounce directly from the last dribble. He caught it with his left hand to lift it up and across his body.

The dribble ends by catching the ball even by scooping the ball in one hand and that event is the moment, by rule, that the pivot is also established if a foot is on the floor.

If there is ever a moment when a subsequent dribble would be considered a carry, you have just decided the player caught the ball. Would you have let that player dribble again as he brought the ball across his body before his right hand got to the ball?

Holding the ball is simply not grasping the ball firmly with two hands.
