A1 makes the ball start to bounce with one hand. I called double dribble.
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

A dribble involves the ball being bounced, which is different from a ball just bouncing along merrily on its own. The dribble was interrupted when the ball hit the foot, and if it was re-started without that same player "holding" the ball at any point, she is allowed to continue. So basically, you kicked it. I'm assuming, though, that this was your only mistake all evening!
