Question

A player for team A is at the free throw line waiting to shot one or two free throws. A teammate leaves a spot alongside the lane. At what point officially does this become a violation? It has been told to me that at the point the referee tosses or bounces the ball to the free throw shooter, at that instant no one may leave without a violation.
Or is it when the free throw shooter touches the ball?

I beleive once the shooter has received the ball the restrictions become effictive, not until he/she has caught the ball.

I think it becomes a violation when the Free thrower has the the ball in his hands ... although a couple of Coaches from a couple years ago would disagree with me.

Restrictions begin "after the ball is placed at the disposal of a free thrower" (9-1).

It's not at the disposal until s/he catches it.

So "disposal" meaning the release of the ball from the referees hands? At that point then the ball would become "live"?

No, disposal is when A1 catches the ball.

"at his disposal" also includes when the ball is placed on the floor in the free throw semi-circle. (As in A1 delaying entering to shoot the free throw.)

To avoid a violation A must call a timeout. A1 may not enter the semi-circle after it is placed on the floor without violating.
