Whistle it dead as a violation. The thrower shall release the ball on a pass directly into the court.

Unfortunately, by your logic 9.2.2 Sit D is illegal.
9.2.2 SITUATION D: A1 dribbles the ball on floor on the out-of-bounds area before making a throw-in. RULING: Legal, a player may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throw-in.
That's clearly not the case. One must understand that 9-2-2 (the throw-in provision basically amounting to what you posted above) only refers to the throw-in pass, not something done prior to that.
