Batter Interference

Does the catcher have to actually throw the ball to have batter interference? I see no where in the rules that he must throw the ball, and even referance to attempting to throw, but I have never seen interference called when the catcher did not actually throw the ball. I only do NFHS.

NOTE: Take note. It is notable to note that the catcher is not required to even attempt to throw the ball in OBR, as long as the umpire judges the aborted attempt was a direct result of the interference.
