A clear-path-to-the-basket foul occurs when there is a fast break and there is no defensive player between the offensive player and his basket. In other words, the breaking player has a clear path to the basket. If, in that situation, the defensive player fouls from behind to stop the fast break, the offensive player is awarded 2 FTs and the ball.
There are a couple other stipulations (for example, where the play starts) to the clear path foul, but that's the main idea.
