If in the middle of dribble the ball came to rest on floor

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; or
d. The ball becomes dead.

(that's the NCAA rule; the NFHS rule is similar / the same).

It's more likely to be an interrupted dribble. So, the OP becomes, "can you continue an interrupted dribble? I hope that answer is obvious.
