**2 shots and the ball side out
Not quite but close...Here is the exact rule...

The ball and an offensive player must be positioned between the tip-of-circle extended in the backcourt and the basket in the frontcourt, with no defender between the ball and the basket when the personal foul occurs.

There must be team possession and the new play must originate in
the backcourt, including throw-ins, and the offended team must be deprived of an opportunity to score an uncontested basket
