Dirbbling FIBA rule interpretation

[harsha_nails]

In the official rule book I came across this

During a dribble the ball may be thrown into the air provided the ball touches the
floor or another player before the player who threw it touches it again with his hand.
There is no limit to the number of steps a player may take when the ball is not in
contact with his hand

Does this mean, A1 can throw the ball forward, take several steps, before the ball bounces and after the ball bounces touch/catch it? Isn't this a violation?
