That was 2009-10 which, in part, said:

Defensive players often employ tactics which serve no other purpose than to disconcert the shooter during free throws (“boxing out” the free thrower off the free-throw line, waving arms, yelling instructions to teammates, etc.)"

Of course, as your original post indicated, we now call it "distraction".
