What events end a player's dribble such that he can legally dribble again?

Watch out, some folks will call you condescending and arrogant for asking such a question.

You realize that in this case the end of the dribble and what makes it legal to dribble again are two separate events.

In the OP, the dribble ended when the player picked it up. It became legal to dribble again after the touch by the opponent.

two separate events

In the book, I found the ways a dribble can end, but not when a dribble can begin.

You must call a lot of illegal dribbles if you don't know when a player can begin a dribble.

You know a player cannot begin a dribble after lifting his/her pivot foot. And you know a player cannot begin dribble if they jump in the air with the ball. What else are you looking for that will help you with your original scenario.

I think of these being illegal, not because of when started, but rather because of how.

You didn't find when it can begin, because it can begin any time. What cannot begin any time is a second dribble.
