It seems incongruous to award points on a TI-BI where the TI itself could not result in a basket, but Referee.com says yes.

It is logical because, without it, the throwing team could "shoot the ball" and then slightly touch the ball just before it goes in to end the throwin and make it a legal basket, being more or indefensible. Having BI prevents that. To keep it simple, the same rule applies the defense.
