Would this constitute a Double Dribble on the basis of 9-5-3 not happening?

But, now where does loss of player control come into play? If she loses the ball and it rolls, it is not in her possession, and say the official deems it not in her possessoin. Can she not dribble again?
You cites the rulle. "Not in possession" is NOT sufficient to allow a second dribble. Only under certain reasons for "not in possession" is it allowed -- and your play isn't one of those reasons.
