Like Goaltending A Free Throw ...

4-22: Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field-goal try
or tap while the ball is in its downward flight entirely above the basket
ring level, has the possibility of entering the basket in flight and is not
touching the basket cylinder or a player touches the ball outside the
cylinder during a free-throw attempt.


10-4-9: A player must not: Commit goaltending during a free throw.

If goaltending a free throw is a technical foul instead of a violation, shouldn't fouling a free thrower be a technical foul instead of a intentional foul (makes a difference, who shoots, inbound spot)?

Or can it not be technical because the ball is live and it's a contact foul? Thus leaving us with an intentional foul.
