Free-throw and player control

[Vinski]

Is there player control when the free-thrower receives the ball from the referee? I'm assuming that there is since rule 4-12-6 states:Neither team control nor player control exists during a dead ball, throw-in, a jump ball or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
However, I don’t see anything about during the free-throw. Is there any other references that clarify?
