Illegal Dribble?

[Thumper68]

I am very new @ this, and I don't have by books with me either. I will take a shot @ it anyway and wait to be corrected. LOL.

I belive the we do have a illegal dribble here. IIRC the dribble ends when the ball stops bouncing. A dribbler may fumble, and resume the dribble on a bouncing ball, but I think that if the ball has stopped bouncing, then his dribble has ended. Please be gentle!!!

The ball bouncing really has little to do with a dribble. The dribble ends when a player catches or causes the ball to come to rest in his hand(s), the dribbler palms/carries the ball, the dribbler simultaneously touches the ball with both hands, the ball touches or is touched by an opponent and the dribbler loses control of the ball, or the ball becomes dead.

The question here is whether during the "fumble" did the dribbler touch the ball simultaneously with both hands or allow the ball to come to rest in a hand.
