MY QUESTION- If the player was in the act of shooting (2 FT) and the intentional foul was called (2 FT) shouldnt the offense get a total of 4 free throws w/ no defense in the lane plus the ball under the basket?

If you're talking about the Villanova vs WV game it was a good call by the official (IMO). V player had a clear layup and was shoved from the back "intentionally" by the WV player with no intent to play the ball.

It was called against WV, in their home venue, with little to no discussion or argument about the call from the home team.......ok, the fans were none too happy!
