9-1-8 ... A player, other than the free thrower, who does not occupy a marked lane space, may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the free-throw line extended and the three-point line which is farther from the basket.
While not clearly written (I don't get the part about farther from the basket.), it means that you must be outside the three point line and behind the free throw line extended. Also notice that strictly speaking you can't break the plane with your foot in the air, which is tougher than just not touching the floor inside before the ball makes contact. Otherwise the player may move around freely out there.
Similar to the players who are not jumpers and do not take a position on the restraining circle for the jump ball. Many people think that they have to be stationary. They may run around if they wish.
