My question is how many foul shots do you shoot? The NFHS book says two shots and ball out of bounds for an intentional foul.

I have asked several referees and one rules interpreter. Some referee say one, some say two and the rules interpreter said three. His reasoning which I know is wrong was that an intentional foul is a technical foul, so you shoot one for the foul and two for the technical. I disagree with that ruling since an intentional foul can be either a personal or technical. In this case it was a personal foul.

Your thoughts please.
I think you have an opinion... and that you will be right.
What does that darn rules book say again?
