With regard to the OP then, we need to debate whether placing a ball OB is materially different than bouncing it. Doesn't seem like a rule book is going to help here. Headache seems to be coming back.

What rule? The rule says a throwin pass may not touch the floor OOB before going IB. Placing the ball on the floor or dribbling it do not equal a throwin pass, therefore it's not against any rule.

However...That still doesn't resolve the case from the OP. Would placing the ball on the floor fall under the rules concerning dribbling or traveling?

It's neither. There is no such thing as a dribble or travel during a throwin. A1 may do a jitterbug or a dribbling demonstration during the throwin (or both) so long as he releases the throwin pass within 5 seconds.
