So here is the scenario we are debating. A1 is dribbling and B1 knocks it away and...
1) A1 is able to retrieve the ball and continues his dribble, or
2) A1 is able to retrieve the ball with a jump stop, and then dribbles again.

In both situations, the first dribble ended when B1 touched the ball and player control ended. Therefore, any player, including A1 can recover the ball and begin a new dribble.
1) He doesn't continue the dribble. The dribble ended. He begins a new dribble.
2) There's no rule that says you can't dribble after a jumpstop when you haven't already used your dribble.
Both plays are legal.
