IAAPT (I am a physics teacher) and, while it is possible for an object to be accelerating while at rest, that doesn't matter here. If the ball comes to rest in my hand (i.e., isn't moving) my intended acceleration of the ball has is of no consequence - dead ball, carrying call before the ball can get moving again.

IANAPT, maybe that's why I can't understand how the ball becomes dead whenever it 'comes to rest' in a player's hand before the ball has a chance to get moving again.

It doesn't.
The player may be catching the ball for all we know. They have to continue the dribble before it can be a carry. If they don't continue it, it's nothing (perhaps a travel if they move the feet after it comes to rest).
