I think 4.15.
4 SITUATION C applies better in this case, it's not really a "pass."
After dribbling and coming to a stop, A1 throws the ball: (a) against the opponent’s backboard and catches the rebound;
RULING: A1 has violated in (a). Throwing the ball against the opponent’s backboard constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it strikes the board.
Edit: I also like the fact the shot clock operator had enough sense not to reset it here every shot.
