Wow, that's a mighty fine nit you got there, son. Good shootin'!

However, I believe that "throwing" is implied in "retrieving", since it's impossible to retrieve a bounce pass that has yet to be thrown. It's the retrieving that results in the violation, so that's the only part that I mentioned.

More nits...you can retrieve without throwing, you can throw without retrieving...and you can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish.
You can also retrieve a fumble, but you cannot fumble to start a dribble.
