Under NFHS high school rules (which are written for a team game), a player who has ended his dribble may not start a second dribble unless he lost control because of:
1. a try for goal
2. a bat by an opponent
3. a pass or fumble which has then touched, or been touched by, another player.
Your play would fall under part 3. Since your opponent threw a pass that touched you, he may dribble again. In short, you were wrong to call a double-dribble violation.

In my book what this guy did does not fit the definition of either a pass or a fumble. There was no
accidental loss of control, so no fumble. He was not throwing the ball
to another player, so it was not a pass. On the other hand since this is one on one, if you are going to try arguing rules, you might as well T him up and say this was an unsporting act.
