That's all you have to remember.

I know this is the case. I guess (where I live, anyway) there's always been the exception of blowing the whistle after a TO, but before a FT. Maybe the feeling is any other time, players will be moving full speed during a throw-in, but players still stand around during a FT until it hits the rim. I'm not sure the reasoning. I believe that is the case in NCAA as well - I've never heard anyone blow the whistle to administer a FT, even after a TO.
