You don't have a violation in FIBA rules for the free-throw shooter leaving the semi-circle after getting the ball? The play that you described above is an immediate violation under NCAA and NFHS rules as soon as a foot of the free-thrower goes beyond the plane of a free-throw semicircle line. The ball had already been placed at the free-thrower's disposal before she threw it to you. Once she gets the ball, she'd better not leave the semicircle here.

In the original case, you could say that the ball was never at the disposal of the free-throw shooter before she left the semicircle, and thus no violation. However, she should never get close to making the sideline to talk to her coach before you're shooing her back in the circle. And you should also make sure that she knows that she'd better not try pulling that one again. Straight delay of game imo.
