In looking at the rules I could not find where a dribble specifically say a bouncing ball or that the dribble ends when the ball stops bouncing. Ok I know this sound stupid. A dribble does involve a bouncing ball- but the coach and fans did not like my call.
Here's part of the definition of "dribble" from the NCAA rulebook:

Art. 4. The dribble ends when:
a. The dribbler catches or carries/palms the ball by allowing it to
come to rest in one or both hands.
b. The dribbler touches the ball with both hands simultaneously.
c. An opponent bats the ball.
d. The ball becomes dead.

None of these things have happened in your scenario, so no end of dribble, so no double dribble.
