It's confusing because the Penalty section in rule 9-12-2 says, "If the violation is at a team's own basket, no points can be scored, and the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation. [that's not the confusing part.] See 10-3-10 for additional penalty for goaltending during a free throw." Then 10-3-10 says, "...shall not goaltend during a free-throw" and the penalty is basically a technical foul. It doesn't differentiate between offensive and defensive. The only way to see that distinction clearly is to read the case book.
