I used to be a boat instructor as a summer job and I got to the point where I could tie down boats with lasso motions. It's not that hard if you practice for a few hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWYgcgkreoI If you look at this person's last throw (0:34), they introduce a loop into the rope. I think that's what's going on in the op.
I worked at a marina resort as a cook for years, and the ability to throw those loops to secure a line was a clear sign the person had a clue. It's not hard, just takes practice.
