Yes, this is the suggested case book way of handling the situation. However, I don't like it, and think that it is inconsistent. For example, we don't do this on a throw-in.
Once the player catches the ball, if he loses it, that's his fault and there should be consequences.
Comically, if a teammate in a marked lane-space is able to reach into the lane, without breaking the plane with his feet, and knock the ball back, or pick it up and pass it back, to the free-thrower, it would not be a violation!
