One shot, two shots or three shots.

Situation A1 is driving to the basket for an easy lay-up, B1 pushes A1 from behind. A1 scores the basket. The trail referee calls an intentional personal foul.


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.
