Two fouls on one play

Of course, if the second foul is not unsportsmanlike.

Such cases happen: a player is fouled and continues the shooting movement; another opponent fouls the shooter after the official's whistle, clearly to prevent a basket. I'd say foul and unsportsmanlike foul (intentional in Fed): four shots and the ball. Probably it won't happen any more in the game.

Your answer isn't relevant to the play being discussed. The original post said that the two foul calls were made for the same act, not for two different and separate acts.

I was assuming that the OP meant "the same play"; I can't see how to penalize twice the same act: this is impossible under any rule set.
