Can I throw to an empty square after failed Animosity?

I tried searching but couldn't find anything.
If I fail an Animosity roll, can I choose to throw to an empty square? My assumption is not, since the skill description doesn't allow that. After a failed roll I can change the target but the target can only be from the same race as the thrower in question.
This has relevance because I could give Diving Catch to a goblin. If I fail the Animosity roll, I could target a square next to the goblin, maybe even getting within a shorter range band. I could target an empty square in the first place but I think it's better odds to target the goblin in the first place if it has Diving Catch since it gives +1 to the catch roll too.
Here's the skill description:

Here's the skill description:
A player with this skill does not like players from his team that are a different race than he is and will often refuse to play with them despite
the coach's orders. If this player at the end of his Hand-off or Pass Action
attempts to hand-off or pass the ball to a team-mate that is not the same
race as the Animosity player, roll a D6. On a 2+, the pass/hand-off is
carried out as normal. On a 1, the player refuses to try to give the ball to
any team-mate except one of his own race. The coach may choose to
change the target of the pass/hand-off to another team-mate of the same
race as the Animosity player, however no more movement is allowed for
the Animosity player, so the current Action may be lost for the turn.
