Shooter
And.... if the offensive player is shooting
and an intentional foul is committed.... and the shot is good...
The offensive player gets the points, STILL GETS TWO SHOTS for the intentional foul (even if it was a 3-point try), and gets the ball at OOB nearest the point of the foul!
Could be a 5-point play and the ball (which could result in another 3 points).
Yowza! that's an expensive foul.
To expand on the definition of intentional foul 4-19 "a foul designed to stop or keep the clock from starting, to neutralize an opponent's obvious advantageous position [like a foul from behind]... is not based on the severity of the act. [However] A foul also shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball a player causes excessive contact with an opponent."
I don't see any latitude in the penalty for an intentional foul dependent upon whether the shot is good or not (Summary of penalties for all Fouls, page 64 #4)- the penalty is always two shots and the ball.
