So, why doesn't the shooter get one shot for the made basket and then the two shots + the ball for the intentional?

Because this isn't a common foul.

As an intentional personal foul, the penalty is two shots plus ball (let's not complicate it with a missed 3-pt attempt). You never penalize a single foul more than once or in more than one way.

That of course, brings up the coveted ten-point play. How does this work, you ask?

A1 puts up a 3pt attempt.
On the shot, B1 intentionally fouls A1.
A1's shot is good - THREE POINTS
Referee reports shot good, foul, and two FT's.
B's coach earns a technical foul - make that four FT's.
A1 makes his two FT's - FIVE POINTS
A2 makes the two T FT's - SEVEN POINTS
A2 inbounds to A1, who immediately makes another 3pt'er. - TEN POINTS.
