That's for a reach and hitting the ball out of the throwers hand.

The comment says a throw in plance violation OR interfering with the ball following a goal--not just hitting it out of their hand. And if, as the original poster said later, the player sent the ball 12 feet back to the wall, I've got a T on the team defending the throw-in at this point in the game.

I think you are seeing this wrong BushRef. The ball was not pushed or touched to prevent or hinder the inbounding team from inbounding. The inbounder chose not to catch or pick-up the ball that was at their disposal.
For example, a made basket bounces out to the freethrow line. A defender rolls or bounces the ball toward the inbounder. The inbounder choses not to catch or pick-up the ball and lets it roll until it hits a wall or stops. You don't whack the defender for that action.
