Legal play, Player fumbles ball into air and recovers it

This is an example of LEGAL play by an offensive player upon losing control of the ball. A player who fumbles the ball may always recover the ball, but he is not permitted to dribble if he has moved his pivot foot in order to retrieve the ball. On this play, the offensive player fumbles the ball into the air as he jumps to shoot, and he then recovers the ball. He does not dribble upon recovery. This is a legal play.
