Remember the penalty for an intentional foul on a missed 3-pointer is 3 shots plus the ball.

And, before anyone else asks, yes, the 2-shot penalty applies on a successful 2 or 3 point basket.
Why do you still get 2 shots on a successful basket? This is different to FIBA (oh my what a suprise - NFHS and FIBA disagree) where only one shot is awarded if the basket is good.
Because otherwise the opponent would be encouraged to foul the opponent on every three.
