I'll just add in case the poster doesn't get it: if it's a try, the player can dribble again, but not if it's a fumble.

I partner with some refs too, that make up rules as they go along. My partner the other night blows his whistle, signals an official time out...two kids on the floor, A1 the dribbler tripped by B1 the defender...both go down...does not make a call and checks on the 10 year olds to make sure they are OK..both get up and he tells A1 to take the ball out..A coach asks what's the call? No communication by my partner, which is typical because he stalls long enough so he can think about what he should call. Ball is inbounded and as my partner walks by the score table, tells the scorer to mark down a foul on B1...it kills me...
