Thanks for all of the feedback on this question. My understanding of this situation was this: The shot itself has its own merit if it goes in. Thus, 2 or 3 points. If unsuccessful, the free throws are dictated by the location of the shooter. Again, 2 or 3 shots. With the intentional foul, the team will also get the ball at the closest spot to the foul.
However, I have been told by some top level officials that if either the 2 or 3-pointer is successful, only 1 free throw is awarded, plus the ball Out-of-bounds.
What gives??
