I have to disagree.

No, it doesn't. Articles 1 and 2 are listed under the topic, "A player shall not violate the following provisions governing free throws."

Disconcertion is found in Article 5 and is listed under the topic. "After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free thrower: No opponent shall disconcert the free thrower."

Any opponent can be called for disconcertion.
