How many shots does he get??

I've checked all case books back '08/'09 back through "97/'98 with no examples of this play.

Intentional foul penalties:

• no shooting motion in progress

• 2 shots for the player fouled, or his substitute if injured + possession nearest where foul occured
• shooting motion in progress:

• basket good: 2 shots + possession nearest where foul occured
• basket not good: 2-point try: 2 shots + possession nearest where foul occured
• basket not good: 3-point try: 3 shots + possession nearest where foul occured

All you have to remember is the only time you don't shoot 2 is on an unsuccessful three point try, then it's 3 shots.
