FREE THROW Situation Question

When does the ball become live??

Scenario:
In Womens College - Is the ball live when the official administering the free-throw bounces the ball to the free thrower? Or does it become live when the free thrower has it in their hands?

In high school, it's live when it's caught by the free thrower. I believe it's the same at all levels and genders. (FIBA excluded.)

From the 2008-09 NCAA Rules Book:
Rule 4
Section 19. Disposal of Ball
Art. 1. The ball is at the disposal of a player when it is:
a. Handed to the thrower-in or free-thrower;
b. Caught by the thrower-in or the free-thrower after it is bounced to
him or her;

c. Placed at a spot on the floor; or
d. Available to a player after a goal.

Snaqs:

In this situation FIBA rules are the same.
