FT - ball gets away from shooter

[Rich]

The other night we had a FT situation -- shooter had the ball and was dribbling. Ball gets away from him and he steps in to the lane to get the ball. I blew the whistle to reset the free throw.

On a timeout, both of my partners told me I should've continued the 10-count. Now, I know I handled this right by the case book play, but I wanted to ask this question: Has this interpretation changed in the past? Both partners insisted (after I showed them the play in the case book) that it used to be called differently.
