Where, in rule 9, is this violation?

9-5, because he's dribbling a second time (batting the ball to the floor) after the dribble ended (touching his hands a second time while in the air).
Even the casebook play says that it is a violation if it occurs "during a dribble." Catching the ball and shooting it is not a dribble.
