It's nit picking but I still consider this a double dribble. I think the AR supports it as well.
Quote:
A.R. 221.
After:
(1) Receiving a pass; or
(2) Ending his/her dribble,
A1 jumps into the air on a try for goal, is contested by B1 and since A1 could not get his/her try for goal off, he/she voluntarily throws the ball to the playing court.
In both (1) and (2), A1 is the first to touch the ball.
RULING: (1) A1 has committed a traveling violation because he/she did not release the ball before picking up his/her pivot foot.
(Rule 9-6 and 4-72.4.b)
(2) A1’s release of the ball, after being airborne, was the start of a second dribble. When A1 touched the ball, he committed a double dribble violation.

I think the key here is the SDSU player never started a dribble so there's no way he could've dribbled illegally in the first place.
I know it's a violation either way but when I found the AR that prompted some more thoughts.
