Yes the official is correct. A double dribble in basketball is a personal foul given to a player who either dribbles with two hands or halts with the ball and begins dribbling again.
An illegal dribble (also known as a double dribble or dribbling violation) happens in basketball when a player completes their dribble by nabbing or resulting the ball to come to rest one or both hands and afterwards dribbles it again with one hand, or when a player touches the ball before it hits the ground. A dead ball turnover occurs when the opposition team gets the out of bounds where the infraction occurred.
