They were saying your allowed to pick it up just not put it back down. I tried to explain that on a pass or shot attempt they are correct but not to start a dribble. Advice please!

If they're convinced they're right, you probably aren't going to change their minds. If you get a chance to point out the passage in the book, you might want to do so, just play it by ear. In the meantime, don't let them intimidate you into not making the right call.
