You are correct. It did say that.

Hypothetical third world play....

Ball is at free throwers disposal--he needs to adjust his shooting sleeve, so he a) hands (or tosses) the ball to his teammate, who's directly behind him outside the semi-circle, adjusts, and re-takes the ball, b) sets the ball down outside the semicircle, adjusts, and reclaims.

Violation in either (and why), or is the FT count still on?

And darn it if I didn't mess this up just last week. Surprised me (T, 2p crew), and L was a rookie so he sure wasn't going to call anything. A1 muffs, she takes a step in, gets it, retreats, resets. Under either interpretation (old and new) I should have had a whistle. Instead I was clueless without an excuse, and let the FT proceed.

Had never seen it in eight years, then I did…and wasn't ready. Oops.
