Illegal dribble or not..??

Define "loses the dribble." How did he/she lose it?

Let's assume the ball bounces off his (or her) foot...but for some crazy reason doesn't fly off out of bounds. It just rolls a little ways...and then stops.

Legal. None of the actions that end the dribble have occured and no other player has touched the ball. They may resume the dribble if they desire.

Well, a dribble does end when "the ball comes to rest." Maybe some aren't reading beyond that.

The dribble ends when:
a. The dribbler catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both hands.
b. The dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands.
c. The dribbler simultaneously touches the ball with both hands.
d. The ball touches or is touched by an opponent and causes the dribbler to lose control.
e. The ball becomes dead.
