That's why I love this place, you can learn from others before messing them up on the court.

Helluva tool for officials!

What is the situation that would cause a person to goaltend a free throw if they didn't know it was a T?

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..

The shooting team was ahead with little time left and the coach's goal was to prevent the clock from starting...and to concede the point as they were, IIRC, down by 1 prior to the final FT.

As I remember it, I don't think the coach blamed the refs...sure, he reacted at the moment of the call but the refs immediately explained it and it was over.
