You cannot have goaltending on a throw-in, it is not a try by rule. And this is something I have never seen where BI is even possible either. I have seen an official at a State Final game call a violation because the throw-in hit the ring. Thank God they corrected that in the end. Learned the rule for sure watching a veteran who I respected make that big mistake.
