Tim - for years I, too, never understood why there could be a goaltending call on a throwin for exactly the same reasons you state - it is not a try for goal and, if it goes in, it's a violation anyway.

However, I remember Camron Rust posting a response that explained why it was equitible to have this call, because somehow it balanced off something the offense could do, and made the penalty for the offense and defense congruent.

I don't exactly remember his reasoning, but I do remember it seemed to make sense. Perhaps he could repost it.
I can't seem to find my old post that you claim I made (either in the electronic nor the organic storage). But, I will try to re-think my former thoughts...and post them if I can figure it out.

Bakset Interference can occur by either the offense or defense on a throw-in.

Goaltending on a throw-in is not possilbe...must be a try for goaltending.

So, is the question is why BI for both, or even BI for anyone???
