If possible, could you point me to the specific rules that answer these questions?

Rule 10-1a. "After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free throw shooter, his attempt shall be within 10 seconds in such a way that
the ball enters the basket or touches the ring before it is touched by a player."
This is to prevent a player from intentionally missing a free throw so that he can send the ball to himself or to a teammate. So if the player intentionally misses, but the ball hits the rim, any player grabbing the ball after the shot would get a rebound. But if the ball does not touch the rim, the thrower commits a violation.
