When he looks back down he hits the top of the ball to get it started bouncing again and resumes his dribble. Of course the other coach wants a violation. We no called it and, looking at the definition of a dribble at half, did not see where letting the ball come to rest and then causing it to bounce again ended the dribble.
Comments? If proven wrong I will have learned something. I know that I learned that kids make the game new every night.

I think you were right...none of the elements that end the dribble occurred.
