You would call this a violation?
I think it is a violation under the rules. When it hits his leg it makes the drop a dribble...maybe interrupted now because of the brush with the leg. We are trying to characterize the drop, not the touch.

Would I call it? A brush. no. If there was more contact like the OP I would have no problem calling it and explaining that when the player touched the ball first after throwing it or dropping it to the floor that constituted a second dribble....even though he didnt mean to be the first to touch it.
