He's already dribbled. Once he throws the ball off the backboard and catches it, he's violated. He doesn't even get an opportunity to dribble again. The violation has already occurred.

That doesn't constitute a dribble. However, it doesn't give him another dribble either. It's not a shot, so there's no loss of team control. If he runs and gets the ball, he's traveled, the same as if he threw himself a pass.
