1) Does that mean that none of the penalties in the book are preventive in nature? Coulda fooled me. I thought that they were all instituted to try to prevent a specific act.

2) And if you don't prevent the infraction, how can it be "preventive"?

Are you really saying that, in the play being discussed, instituting an expanded penalty to a normal live ball foul by adding an EXTRA penalty(second shot maybe + possession) for fouling a thrower OOB isn't preventive in nature?
