From the 2011-12 book (the numbers may have changed). It is similar, but not quite the same. It does hint at the thrower not being in the semicircle. The only way that happens is if you put the ball at the thrower's disposal without the thrower being there. The only time that can happen is after a timeout.

9.1.3 SITUATION J: The official administering a free throw awarded to A1 places the ball at his/her disposal. A1, who is inside the free-throw semicircle leaves the semicircle to confer with a teammate. RULING: Violation. After the ball has been placed at the disposal of the free thrower, he/she is not permitted to leave or enter the free-throw semicircle without violating, until restrictions have ended. (9-1-3e Penalty 1)
