It is the fact that the ball is laying on the ground part (essentially "coming to rest") that I'm having trouble with. Also, an important part of the definition of a dribble is missing which includes" ball movement".

Better to know what you would or wouldn't call, I suppose, but this one is also in the "if this ever really happens, let us know" category.
This scenario was supposedly witnessed by the official that posted it. The officials allowed it.

Yes, I did. Thank you for the information. ;-)

I had read this before as a hypothetical. I thought that was what we were dealing with here.

One thing which has not been mentioned: If the ball is truly resting on the floor, it is not that easy to start/resume a dribble by slapping it. A natural next step in the attempt to do so would be the use of a fist, which we all know is not allowed.

A1 is dribbling, and B1 slaps it away, and A1 runs over and secures it with two hands. Can A1 still dribble?

Then you should have your answer. The dribble did not end.
