If it is legal and the play continues when the holder rises to get a high snap and returns to one knee (as in play a), why is it a dead ball when the holder rises to get a bouncing snap and returns to one knee (as in play b).
Please help me get a better understanding of this so I don't mess it up next year.

The simple answer - dems da rules.
The difference is the snap on the ground. If you lift your knee to field a snap that has been grounded you can't place your knee on the ground again. You may, however, crawl after a bad snap.
