Because you're going the wrong direction.  java.sql.Date is a more 
specific type of Date.

What you're doing is like casting a Fruit to an Apple.  Maybe it works, 
because maybe that Fruit really is an Apple, but maybe it's an Orange or 
a Banana.  You can always cast an Apple to a Fruit (and thus a java.util 
.Date to a java.sql.Date) but you can't always go the other direction.

public class java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date
