Case 9.5 situation [substituting word *floor* for *backboard* (per fundamental #19)] Player ends dribble. Throwing the ball against *floor* or an official constitutes another dribble, provided thrower is first to touch the ball after it strikes the official or the *floor*.

Mick, while I agree with the overall result of your interpretation, I don't think you can just substitute floor in for a case that is treated as a backboard play.
