Becky,
The main difference between the two is that an interupted dribble is a dribble that has NOT ENDED YET--therefore, once the dribbler catches up to it, she can continue the dribble as long as she doesn't touch it simultaneously with both hands, grab it with both hands, or let it come to rest in one hand before continuing to dribble. "Dribble-fumble-dribble" refers to a dribble that has ended, but while holding the ball the player loses control of it (i.e., fumbles it). When that happens, she can pick it up, without penalty, but cannot keep keep the ball bouncing when it is retrieved by pushing it back to the floor. That would constitute starting a new dribble--hence, a violation.
