The number one reason would be stupidity
A couple years ago a coach told his player to goaltend a free throw late in a close game during the NCAA Men's tournament. He knew it would get them the ball back no matter what, which was what he wanted to accomplish. However; he didn't realize the technical foul rule, thankfully the referees did and handled the situation correctly. Of course, the referees were blamed for the loss until the coach found the rule and exonnerated the crew, lol..
