I realize that this situation is covered in the NF Illustrated Rules, 10-6 Pen 4. Count the basket, award two free throws and ball to team A.
A veteran official whom I respect told me that he would not call it this way. Call a personal foul, count basket, award one free throw.

Matt, most of the time, your friend is right. If it's a toss-up between a common foul or an intentional, then I'm probably going to call the common foul, and just give one shot. However, if the defender causes really excessive contact (two-hand shove into the third row, while the shooter's in the air), then you will need to call the intentional foul and administer it correctly. The main thing is not to try to split hairs on the intentional foul. If it might or might not be intentional, then it's not.

His point was that this play could result in a 6 point play for team A, and that he didn't want to see the game decided on it.

Actually, it could end up in an 8-point play!! 3-point shot is good, intentional foul is two FTs, then inbound for another 3-pointer!! Oooooo, anybody ever see that?!?!
Have a
great game on Monday!!
