dribbling a rolling ball

[stewcall]

A1 dribbles the ball off of her foot. We now have an interrupted dribble. The ball rolls (stops bouncing)
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

Here's part of the definition of "dribble" from the NCAA rulebook:

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.
d. The ball becomes dead.

None of these things have happened in your scenario, so no end of dribble, so no double dribble.

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!

I've been thinking about this call for 6 months now- being told I was correct- but never finding it in the book (NF)
Because it was eating at me- I thought I kicked- it- yup

The coach thought it rolled off B1 player's foot. When explained (ok wrongly) it rolled off of A1's foot and the player made the ball bounce again- he was satisfied---- wrongly
