Yes, as long as you continue to dribble. That would be considered the start of a dribble.
However, if you were to catch the ball and then dribble - that would be a double dribble because you started a new dribble. The act of throwing the ball above the head of your defender and letting it bounce would be consider the start of a dribble.
