Sent me to the rule book, so I'll post this:

9-2-11 Penalty 4: If an opponent(s) of the thrower reaches through the throw-in boundary-line plane and fouls the thrower, an intentional personal foul shall be charged to the offender. No warning for delay required.

What first confused me is remembering that if the defender reaches across the plane and touches the ball while still in possession of the thrower it is a technical foul... unexpected that contacting the thrower would be an intentional foul while contacting the ball would be a technical:

No warning for delay required. See 10-3-11 Penalry.
