No. Except for two exceptions, you can't travel unless you're holding the ball. You could only have a double dribble if the dribbler touched the ball with both hands before it hit the floor. Otherwise, you don't have anything.

That is to say, if A1 is dribbling, the ball hits foot/leg/rock and bounces away, A1 can recover and keep dribbling as long as A1 does not pick up the ball with both hands (or put one hand under the ball). So, assuming it is bouncing away, run over and keep batting it toward the floor. But don't grab it with 2 hands and start dribbling, and don't palm it.

If B1 bats it away, anything goes (and usually does).
You are correct. Juulie didn't say anything about the dribbler picking the ball up. She only asked if he could continue dribbling.
