Permits the ball to come to rest while he is in control of it
Tries for a field goal
Throws a pass
Touches the ball more than once while dribbling, before it touches the floor
Loses control of the ball

[edit]
Violation
If a double dribble violation occurs, then the ball is awarded to the opposing team out of bounds at the approximate point where the violation took place.

In the game of basketball, a double dribble is a violation in which a player dribbles (bounces) the ball, clearly holds it with a combination of either one or two hands (while either moving or stationary), and then proceeds to dribble again without first either attempting a field goal or passing off to a teammate. Once the dribbling has stopped, the player cannot dribble again until after another player has touched the ball. The double dribble is formally known as the discontinued dribble.
A double dribble violation is also other forms of dribbling violations like striking the ball with a closed fist or dribbling the ball with both hands (the double dribble sign is called "illegal dribbeling"-sign in the rule book).
Official NBA rules
In the National Basketball Association, a dribble is movement of the ball, caused by a player in control, who throws or taps the ball into the air or to the floor.
The dribble ends when the player:
1. Touches the ball simultaneously with both hands
2. Permits the ball to come to rest while he is in control of it
3. Tries for a field goal
4. Throws a pass
5. Touches the ball more than once while dribbling, before it touches the floor
6. Loses control of the ball
7. Allows the ball to become dead

A double dribble is when you touch the ball with both hands while dribbling, or lose your dribble and then pick it up again. However, if a defender knocks the ball away and you recover it, it is not a double dribble. It can also occur when your dribbling and the ball hits your body on the way to the floor, foot, hip, etc. You dont see that called very often, but its definatly a rule.

when you get full possesion of the ball, you have three options. You can dribble, pass, or shoot it. If you dribble and you pick up the ball now you have two options. Pass or shoot. If you dribble it again, that's a double dribble and a turnover.

Double dribbling is when you dribble once, stop, and then pick up and start walking and dribbling again.

in basketball, it's when a player picks up their dribble (stops dribbling), and then resumes dribbling again.
that's an illegal move.
